Dear Self...

I wrote a letter to myself today. I found this great website where you can write a letter to your future self. Meaning, you write whatever you choose and select a date that it be emailed back to you. I opted for 5 years and think I will do this again in 5 years when I get the letter back. It is free and I think an interesting idea. And since it is emailed right to me, it can be as personal (or funny or whatever you choose) as you want it to be.
I chose to write about where I think I will be in 5 years  (I will be 35-yikes!!) as far as career and family. I also wrote about what is going on in my life right now and I wonder if these things will seem so important in 5 years. It seems sometimes the thing that we stress about SO much for several days or weeks really are not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of life..

Anyway, enough rambling, here is the website:

www.futureme.org

I recommend you check it out!

About Me

I don't take anything for granted and make time to enjoy the simple things. I love my family. I married my best friend and together we are raising our son and daughter and living our happily ever after. I aspire to be the best mom I can be. I adore my friends, trying new things and exploring nature, especially the change of seasons. I love to read, write, create memories and take photos. I look for the good in every person and in every day.
