"Good Morning future self!! I do hope you are enjoying yourself, sipping a cup of coffee while you read this. You are very fortunate. You have been here a long time. As of this writing, you are already 56 and older than your Mom was when her life ended. We do not know how long we have in this beautiful life, but just know that things have happened exactly as they were meant to have happened. When you look back and reminisce what life has been for you, it has been pretty great. Sure some things could have been different, but those different things would have changed the other things that you are very happy about. Live life to the fullest. Enjoy it, every chance you get. Remember to travel, not to live beyond your means. If you only knew the "do not live beyond your means" early in your 20's you would have been further along right now. You did get it together and accomplished the goals you set out to, by the age of 50. You wanted to retire by 50, and did so a week prior to age 51, so setting goals does work. Strive for what you want, create beauty in your art work and enjoy life. You cannot change everything else, you can only change yourself, so do what you can to be the happiest. Remember the past like a movie, and smile. Look back at your trip books of pictures, your life, and always be happy with your choices. Do not envy what others have. Realize that you mean a lot to many people, To sum things up, be grateful for what you have, what you have accomplished and who you have in your life surrounding you. Be there to also help others. That is what truly makes you happy- oh and Coffee...Always have a cup of coffee to share with others!"
Loved your journaling, loved that it talked about your past to set up examples for your future. And make sure your coffee is a Starbucks! Which reminds me, I didn't include tea-drinking in my letter, and PG Tips is my Starbucks.
@mcurtt Thank you Marilyn... I put the photos of my Mom and my Grandmother on the page, as I look very similar to both. With Mom passing at 54, I now look towards my Grandmother who passed at 80 or so. I went to a palm reader once who said according to my life line I would drop dead at 80 so I figure I have 24 years left! and that I will probably look more like my grandmother
@cfile I had my fortune read once. I'm supposed to live until 82. But then I was also supposed to have 2 sons. That hasn't happened yet, and I'm 64, so extremely doubtful. LOL!
you mean a lot to many people, I count myself fortunate to be one of those many. Your art and very being are a kindness and blessing to me. These words show that you too are comfortable with YOU. A very rare attribute! ♥
