Even when she was going through her painful split from ex-husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner somehow managed to stay upbeat.
"He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He's just a complicated guy,” the actress said philosophically when the ink was hardly dry on the couple's divorce papers.
Jen's handscon with her organic kids' food business.
With an outlook like that, it should be no surprise that the Hollywood A-lister is approaching her 50th birthday with the same buoyancy.
"I'm excited,” the mother-ofthree shares of her milestone anniversary coming up on April 17.
"I like it! I don't know why I'm surprised that I'm turning 50, but I do have the sense of, 'What the heck? It's really here?'

"I like the idea that, all of a sudden, I'm allowing myself to believe that I know what I know. It's empowering!"
Fifty is an age when many people take stock of just how far they've come - but for Jennifer, it's not just about celebrating everything she's achieved in her life so far, but also a palpable excitement for the possibilities of the future.
The actress - still in the midst of raising her three children with Ben, Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10 - decided, in her forties, to become an entrepreneur.
“I had several false starts," says Jennifer of her search for a business she felt she could believe in.
