Five year old me might be a little confused – she expected me to be a farmer’s wife. I would have to explain to her that the world today is a bit rubbish, most people don’t have the chance to care for land, grow and harvest crops and care for animals. But in a world system that makes very little sense I am actually doing rather well – no debt, no mortgage, managing to accomplish great things on a shoestring budget and making every moment count. And…soon to marry a man who thinks everything I do is fabulous. Pretty good turnout really considering the farmers wife expectations did not come to fruition.
I think 5-year-old me probably wanted me to be a fireman, a policeman, a cowboy, or Superman. And since I’m none of those, I’m sure he’d be disappointed.

At five my main concern was going to first grade. I was so happy looking forward to it.

I think so though 5-year-old might be disappointed by how little I’ve changed in appearance.

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt she would be proud of me and how I’ve lived my life.

A lot of disappointments and accomplishments getting here, but yes, whether 5 or 65, she’d be happy because I am.

I would be far too busy surviving and if I met me, I’d be so grateful for the love and comfort I’d give that little vulnerable me.

Five-year-old me would not even recognize 68-year-old me.
