Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

If you’re reading this, Jeff Lud, you made it to 100 years old.

CONGRATS!

Thinking about being that age now, 43 years prior, a few things come to mind.

I hope your three kids are still alive and doing well. Maybe you’re even a grandpa. Ha! Imagine that.

I hope you realize now that your worries and feelings of insecurity were most often not warranted; overall, I think you lived a worthwhile life, one you should feel satisfied with.

Remember that while you didn’t always end up first or at the top of the heap, you made the most of every situation overall; you had your loses, but victories too; you had a good run.

Remember the love above all else. In all the relationships you have had:

The family,

The friends,

The colleagues,

The romances,

The Lions,

The neighbors,

The Love,

REMEMBER THE LOVE,

THE LOVE.
