Steemit Engagement Challenge S3:W2 - Write a letter to your five-year-old self, telling him/her what you have learned so far by @patjewell
Dad, mom and you
Dear @patjewell, my favorite little sister!
Guess what? Today is Friday!
You don’t have to go to school tomorrow! Whoop whoop!
If mom allows us we can go to the 🏖 tomorrow. They said last night on the TV that it is going to be a sunny day.
I almost forgot. I just love the drawing of the 🌹 you left for me on my bed this morning! It is beautiful. I also love you! 😻
As for dad, I can remember how he always made 🎶 so that you could dance. He always said that you could dance before you could walk.
Before you get too big I want to share something with you today. Are you ready to listen? 👂 I will be like your teacher today and tell you to put your finger on your mouth.
Okay, ready?
You asked me so many questions the other day. Today I am going to answer the most important ones.
Why am I rich?
My dear sister, I am not rich. I might have things that makes me look rich but I can assure you that I worked hard for it. Remember when mom asked you this morning to pack the dishes away and you were too lazy? Well, that was wrong. You should never be lazy. If you work hard things will come your way.
No, you are not going to get 🍬 🍬 for ever and ever if you work. See, I know your little mind. You've been my sister for long enough.
If you want to get somewhere in life you have to work hard. I remember how I had 3 different jobs at the same. All I wanted was to make enough money so that I could start my own business. And I can tell you, I did it! I worked hard.
You must just remember one thing. To be rich is not to have beautiful things around you. It is what you carry in that beautiful 💖 of yours that matters.
Why do I know so much?
Ah ha! Of all the questions you have asked this was my favorite one. Dad made us read the newspaper every day. I always thought it was stupid. Then one day my teacher asked a question and I was the only one that could answer it.
What you 📘 and what 👀 and what you 👂 nobody can take away from you.
I worked hard at school. Can you remember those nights when I kissed you good night but kept the bedside lamp burning on my side? Yip, those were the nights that I studied long after you had fallen asleep.
Always read everything and study hard! 📚
Why am I no longer married to my first husband anymore?
Umh. I never expected you to ask this question but no problem, I will answer it.
Just like you I also had dreams about a prince on a white 🎠.
I then also married my prince but somehow we started to drift away from each other. What we did, our work, our friends and what we liked was just no longer the same. No, don’t feel sorry! Somehow I think it was my mistake by putting my work first. Something we women should never do.
I was just so lucky that I found another 🤴. This time not on a white horse but a golden one!
Keep on dreaming and hug them tight. Dreams do come true.
Why the yawn? You are not getting tired? So soon?
One last answer then you can go to bed.🛏
If I have one wish what would it be?
Why do you had to ask such a difficult question? I had to think hard about this one. I had a happy and healthy life and I am so grateful for that. GRATEFUL! Not grapefruit. 🤣
I also think we must always say thank you for what we have and never wish for better.
I can remember my one birthday when a friend of mine gave me a 🧸 for my birthday. It was all dirty and the one ear was torn. I was so upset when I got it but then mommy took me and told me how poor they were in what they have but how rich they were as a family in their values.
Only later did I hear it was her favorite toy. I couldn’t help crying. Yes, that is the teddy, then one I still have. The one who has that special spot on my bookshelf.
My little sis, never wish for better. Go on your knees every night and say that prayer we were taught when we were tiny tots. 🙏
Fast asleep… I knew it! 😴
Love you forever and ever!
Your big sis!

As I read through your post, it was so real that I couldn't imagined how intelligent your five year old self was but as you rightly said, what you read, listen and see can't be taken away from you! Ohh yes! That's the power of our most important senses.
Working hard and being grateful to what we have is a life contentment everyone should be happy at🥰, I teach my kids about this though because money is Never enough.
