Advice for my 80-yr. old self

Did you read yesterday’s post? Those are just a few things I’d like to have told the younger face in the small picture on the small book. The thought then struck me I wonder what I will tell myself when I am 80, which would be 25 years from now.

Projecting ahead here are some things I think I might say:

  • Spend more time with your parents
  • Save more money
  • Enjoy your friends
  • Invest often and wisely
  • Practice acts of kindness with fanaticism
  • Enjoy the ride
  • Spend more time with your grandkids and kids
  • Be generous in giving away what you’ve learned
  • Exercise often
  • Do things that you are too old to do
  • Silence your fears they are thieves
  • Read and paint more.

 

You may enjoy this little exercise.  I think it is important to live your life thoughtfully after all we are warned we will give an accounting of our lives. They belong to Him.
