23. Write a letter to yourself at the age of 10.

Jan 8, 2010

Dear Mary Kate,

         I wrote a letter already, but I’ve decided to change it.  My original letter told what you should and shouldn’t do to reach what I’m like at 18, but it was all wrong.  By telling you what to avoid and go for I’d cause you to stray from the present moment you’re in. 

       My only advice for you is to live in the moment, live from day to day and don’t get caught up in thoughts of the future.  My worry is had I told you what was in the original letter you would spend your time looking for those moments, rather than living in the present.

      Treasure each day and don’t take things for granted!  Work hard and you will do well.      

                                          -Mary Kate =)
