Prompt: Future self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?)
We will be anticipating the year 2016. I hope I will be looking ahead with hope and calm, with grandchildren on the scene or on the horizon, with young adult children who are happy, healthy and whole and contributing to their communities in meaningful ways...and still making beautiful music. I hope DH and I are enjoying good health, work that brings fulfillment and that our lives contain laughter.
Ten years ago it was the end of the year 2000. We were living in a small town, and our children were very young. Life had a greater simplicity, although it was not without its scares and bumps. I think I would tell my younger self to embrace it all...that which was and that which is to come, because faith is real and hope is powerful and the love in my life is trustworthy.

Embracing life...yes!
ten years ago I never would have anticipated the extreme challengs I have faced. Life was much simpler...and I was filled with hope as I started my first call as a priest. I hope the next ten years bring exteme joys I could never have anticipated.
and that you have that simple life that comes with grown children and the potential of grandbabies (doesn't it sound delightful, new babies!)
yes, embracing life! here's to joy in the journey!
