Is she anxious about turning 40 or anxious about planning a party? Bottom line is that no one knows your wife like you do. You know (or can ask) if she wants a big blowout, a small gathering of close friends, a special dinner or trip with just the two of you, etc.

This. I would not plan anything that I know my spouse wouldn't want.
For my husband's 40th, I planned a party. I couldn't do a surprise party because it is so much work trying to keep things secret. What I did was plan a regular party with family, and left out the fact that I'd invited some friends of his that he doesn't often get to see as everyone is scattered around.
-She's feeling down about another year and not accomplishing what she wanted to in life.
-She's been talking about what to do about her birthday and I wanted to do something kind of special.
-It's really hard when most of her friends and family live halfway across the country.

That is really sweet of you. How about tickets to the theatre, a dinner cruise, a concert, something you wouldn't normally do? Is there any way to plan a trip to see some of her relatives to celebrate?
It is the curse of milestone birthdays to end up reflecting on another decade passing and wondering where you're at in life. I hope she hasn't been setting herself up for failure by expecting to reach an arbitrary target that she may have created when she was younger and more inexperienced with the curveballs life can throw at you.
