Brie's SOL Day 9-For my older self

What advice would I give my older self?

Hmmm, this one is tougher.  I am watching as my parents age and seeing how their minds and bodies deteriorate.  Also, their struggles to accept those changes.  So, as I watch them I suppose my suggestions would be these...


  1. Enjoy those who you love.  They are the most valuable people in your life.
  2. Find joy in your creativity and creations.
  3. Accept your changing body with grace and humor.  It happens to everyone.
  4. Do work that satisfies you.  Find ways to use your skills to help others.
  5. Build and maintain a community of family and friends.  Spend time with them.
  6. Take time to prepare.  For retirement and healthcare.
  7. Choose your location wisely.  See #5.
  8. Let go of the things that don't matter. 
  9. Pass on opportunities to younger people.
  10. Look back at this list and see how much was true.
