When I turned 40, I began to reflect on what I’ve learned over the years and what I’ve accomplished along the way. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone -- moving to Arkansas with only what I could pack into my car -- and I’ve made time to enjoy life. But, there were a few things I would have done differently if I had someone to give me a little guidance.

I’m not the only one who feels this way. A few of my friends shared with me what they wish someone had told them about getting older. Maybe they would have done a few things differently as well.
