Whoo, boy! Here's a question that I really wish I could actually do! Ahh, to talk to myself when I was young, and to tel her all the things that I have learned.

Here I am at seventeen, all seriousness and seemingly ready to tackle anything!

Pictures aside (be sure to post pics of yourself when you were young if you feel like it...it would be fun and would sure liven up things around here!), I would have told myself to stay in chorus in High School, take more Art and a lot less Science, and to not worry so much about what my parents thought...In fact, not to worry so much about what anyone thought!

I would have told myself to follow my gut always, to be nice, to pick up after myself, both at home and environmentally; I would have told myself to laugh more, play more, and not take life so seriously.

Finally, I would have explained most patiently that I was not going to die young and to plan for retirement, for time flies, and life happens while you are making other plans.

So, Questers! What would you have t say to your younger self if you could travel back in time and speak to that person you were? It's really an important question if you think about it. It points out what we have learned from life...at least, I hope so! :)

Blessings, as usual, from
