If you could go back in time and have a 5 minute conversation with yourself ten years ago, what would you say? #postaday

Penny, it is 2001 and if you are fortunate, you will turn 41 years old in October. I have five minutes to give you a bit of insight into you, your life, and life ten years from now. I've thought about this prompt for several hours and started writing a response several times. I found myself giving my 40 year old self lots of advice on what to do and then realized, I've already NOT done it and there is no way to re-do it - so that response to the prompt is ridiculous. So, what does my 50 year old self have to say to my 40 year old self? Simply this: hang in there, it continues to get better every moment, day, week, and year. Forty will be wonderful but fifty has been unreal!
