“2. Be happy with where you are. Now. ”

Now, if I could just learn to DO that. Dang. That’s a tough one.

My stress level would go down so much if I followed your advice.

Especially the part about enjoying each stage!! Can totally relate to the forever piece comment! I can remember a couch we had when we first got married and calling it a forever piece!! Haha it was awful! Thanks for another great post!

And I cringe at my 20 something self’s decorating skills. But you are right, I love the fact we evolve and I can’t wait to see the future me.

A couple of years ago, on a snow day, when I felt trapped and overwhelmed by my life and family, I found a tape that I recorded when I was in college for a friend but never sent. I hid in my studio and listened to that tape and remembered my life then. It was better than I remembered it being. Or rather, I was happier than I remembered being. That was all I needed, to go back and tackle my day-the knowledge that my previous self was happy inspite of many crazy things going on, simply because I chose to be. It’s so amazing when we can save ourselves for a day.

Great advice,
The Other Marian
