A 40-year-old imagines advice from her 80-year-old self: enjoy each day, because life passes faster than you think. She recalls being 11 and thinking 40 was impossibly far away.

Imagine in 4 decades from now you're 80 years old and that 80-year-old Kate just turns around and says to the 40-year-old Kate, what would she say? What would her advice be?
Her advice would be what I'm trying to work on now: enjoy. Just enjoy every day, no matter what's happening. Just enjoy life every day because it flies. You know, I was 11 years old when I said to my aunt, who was at that time I think turning close closer, uh, she was turning 40 and I said, oh my God, you're so old. And it's so far away. And she told me, it's like, you, you're gonna be 40 one day. And I'm like, it's so far away. I was 11 at that time. And I remember this. Now I am 40.
Hmm.
And so I know that 80 is going to come way quicker than I think it will. And so the only advice that I think today my 80-year-old self would give to me is just enjoy.
