Hello Kim, I enjoyed your letter a lot. You have given me an idea about writing a letter to my midlife self in a similar vein, being so far removed from my teenage self, I am reckoning this will be more appropriate.

perhaps looking far back, the singular most important thing i reckon, would have been having the courage to say YES and the guts to say NO.... vis versa. This , Had i had them when a teenager would have led me down a completely different set of adventures.

And yet, all things in balance, I am very content with how things are turning out...

My Life.... is a continual process of reinviting myself, to suit the current circumstances...

right, where are my hiking boots..... Kind regards, Keith

There is something peaceful about being able to look back and know that you have come a far way and that no, everything wasn't perfect, but you're right where you're supposed to be.
