Jodie Sweetin Shows 'What 40 Looks Like' In Birthday Post

Jodie Sweetin is loving 40!

The "Full House" star celebrated her 40th birthday this week and it looks like she had a pretty good time. Sweetin shared several photos from her simple celebration on Instagram.

In the first photo, the actress was photographed leaning on the kitchen counter as she posed right in front of her cake. She flashed a big smile while sporting a tie-dye hoodie with her blond hair up in a bun. The second slide showed Sweetin enjoying a day in nature, sitting on a big rock by the river. This time, she rocked a burgundy hoodie and black leggings with white trainers.

Sweetin was spotted kissing her fiancé Mescal Wasilewski on the cheek back home, while she stood in between her parents in the last snapshot.

Sweetin started her long caption with, "Here’s what 40 looks like."

She continued, "It was full of family, love, wonderful messages, thoughtful gifts, flowers, Mexican food, cake and lots of other goodies, and so much more. I remember thinking that 40 was such an 'official' age when I was younger. Now? I realize 40 is just STARTING to feel like an adult."

Sweetin also noted that the age is "old enough to have learned from lots of mistakes, but young enough to still go for the adventure," adding, "It’s finally feeling great in my own skin. It’s self-acceptance. It’s hustle. It’s knowing how to take care of my self and when to be totally selfless. It’s remembering that you’ve made it through ALL the bad days up until now. It’s finding joy in small things and not needing life to be big and grand all the time. It’s realizing your time on this planet is very limited, so you better f--king enjoy it. It’s about focusing on the 'we', not the 'me'. It’s about looking inward and figuring out what the rest of it all is gonna look like."

She also mentioned how the sudden passing of her on-screen dad broke her heart and how her beau popping the big question made her so happy.

"The past two weeks have a been a reminder of just how fleeting it all is. The deep heartbreak of losing someone you love, to the joy of getting engaged, and the deep self reflection of those big round decade birthdays," she wrote.

Sweetin also added a message by writing, "Life comes at you fast. The wonderful, the painful, the joyous and the uncertain. The most important thing I’ve learned along the way is that if I can just hold on a little longer sometimes, the joy returns. I hope you remember that too."

The noted, "Turning 40 has been a gift. I’m ready for what comes next…"

Within a span of two hours, Sweetin's post gained more than 125,000 likes and a little over 3,400 comments. Plenty of her online admirers and some notable names dived into the comments section to wish her a happy birthday.
