A message to my 20-year-old self

_This week I'm guest blogging over on Tess Hardwick's little corner of cyberspace (Inspiration For Ordinary Life). For several weeks, Tess has invited writers to answer this question: What would you say to your 20-year-old self? The series, called 20 Thursday, has included some touching and insightful posts. I hope mine lives up to that reputation. Here's the opening and a link to the rest on Tess' site. Feel free to comment here, on Tess' site or both. And thanks for reading...

Diane - this is just plain lovely. Would that we could all go back and tell that unsure girl who she would someday be. If only we knew then... Thanks for sharing this.
