January 9: Advice To Your Future Self (Journaling challenge)

Me too, crazy, very challenging stressful teenage years here! Just got my ASD, ADHD, Anxiety ridden first born through Yr 12 and High School! A lot of what you've touched on I can so relate to! Hang in there and be blessed!

 

I really want to say to EVERYONE, wow, your sharing in this journalling challenge is mind blowing! What awesome, amazing women we are! I love that many of us have told ourselves to be kind to ourselves, why are we so hard on ourselves? I don't know, but what a blessing it is to be challenged and able to take the time to think about and write to ourselves! We should do it more often. We are especially blessed that we have the creative outlet of our scrapbooking to be able to do this! Have an awesome day fellow scrappers! <3

 

This is beautiful! Play, play and play! I wish I could come and listen. I agree, despite past hurts and pain and reminders, play again. I ALWAYS wanted to learn but only did for 6 months in high school and that was an eon ago. I hope you take it up and again and play the music in your heart. <3

 

This is to myself this time next year, when I accomplish my new years resolution! lol

 

I don't often journal deeply, but this was a good challenge. Hubby and I are hoping to start our family soon, so this is a reminder of what sort of mother I hope I am in the future. Journaling in the gallery (382 words)

 

What if I write 150 words in my native language and get less when I translate???????

I do not like journaling challenge, period.

 

Journaling translated with google translator:

From 2018 I am writing you a letter today.
How are you? If you've followed my advice from this letter, you'll say, I'm fine, happy and satisfied. That is what I wish for you (for us).
Very important on the way there is the conscious joy of all the beautiful things that life holds for you. The little ones as well as the big ones.
Rejoice about every single day you wake up healthy and all the people you care about in your life. Be grateful that your mom and your parents in-laws are still with you and let them feel it.
The children are grown-up and go their own ways. Have faith that they find their own way that is right for them. You raised and shaped her and I already have a good feeling that she appreciates these values in her own life.
Do not worry so much about everything in the future. Live here and now and let things run their course. Otherwise, you will only get restless and nervous and many things will be explained almost by themselves, without you having to worry about it in advance.
Tell your loved ones once more than too little how much you love them and how rich your life is through them ..
Live consciously every day and do things that make you happy. Just be happy listen to your heart. Be good to you.
Greetings from your past self
