If you could talk to your younger self, say, yourself ten years ago, what would you say?

I imagine that I would say something Iike;

Guess what?  Everything is going to be ok!  Yes, you’re going to make it through the mission, through the heart break, through the college admissions and wedding (and you’ll be able to do the luncheon on your grocery budget, so don’t sweat.)

I might say, gird up, because your daughter will be on a fast-track to adulthood, she’ll get better after the scary hepatitis, and again, you’ll live through the wedding and it will be beautiful!

I would definitely say, the group home is going to work out!!!  And it is going to be a success, so you don’t need to stress any more.  There will be lessons learned and friends made and you will grow a lot too.  And you will be grateful for the lessons and the wisdom.

Further, I might say guess what?  In a few years from now, the mystery pain that has been debilitating in episodes is going to be identified!  Serious!  At last there will be a doctor who will hear you, go to bat for you and hit the ball out of the park. Man!  I’m so excited!!!

Yes, there will be times that your heart will break. But you will be upheld and strengthened then too.

And…what about the grand children that were on the way, and how can I even express to myself how much I would and do love them?!

Those are some of the things I could tell my younger self.

What would your present self say to your young self?  Could I invite you to take a minute or two and write that dialogue out?  Really, and I’ll tell you why…

Because, when you get those words out, then we’re going to switch-up the dates! We’re just going to change the heading from, “what I would say to my younger self,” to, “what my older self would say to me now.”

Hindisght is amazing isn’t it?  Full of understanding and lessons learned and wisdom gained. And it seems that the common thread throughout my personal notes to myself is, DON’T WORRY, THINGS ARE GOING TO WORK OUT.

Little sister, it is true.  Things are going to work out.  And if you can believe that, how would you live your life differently if you could function from that position, instead of the anxiety or worry that you deal with now? How would you love?  How would you hope? How would you plan?

Food for thought.

I hope you’ll eat up!

Love always,

Jacque
