Dear Past Me, Future Me

     It is day 17 of BlogFest 2012 and today’s host is Jessie from “A Crazy Beautiful Disaster”.  Today we are challenged to write a letter to our past self and our future self using the knowledge that we have acquired to this date.  So here goes nothing!!



Dear Past Me,
     Quit worrying about whether people like you.  You must like you first, and then everyone else will follow suit.  If they don’t like you, they are no great loss.  Go on.  You are fine the way you are.  Be kind, friendly, and true.  Give people a chance.  Learn to forgive.  After all, they are just kids too learning as they go.  Focus on your studies and have fun.  Believe in yourself and be strong.  There is life after high school.    Hold out for Mr. Right, and don’t settle for the first man that looks your way.  Trust me, he isn’t worth the aggravation.  Trust your gut and don’t give up what you want most so easily.  Remember the big picture and that these moments in your life are a drop in the bucket.  They will pass in the blink of an eye.  Be happy, laugh lots, and believe in yourself and in others.  Take each day as it comes, count your blessings being forever thankful for what you have, and always believe the best is yet to come.

Love, Me

Dear Future Me, 
     G0d has a plan for you and your life.  Follow your diet and take care of you.  Enjoy and appreciate, and love your husband and children with all your heart. Count your blessings and give thanks for each day and for what each day brings.   When your kids marry, welcome their chosen mate with open arms and love them as your own.  Enjoy the grandchildren you are blessed with.  Thank G0d for each day.  Forgive more and blame less.  Realize you are fine just the way you are.  Be happy, and be strong.  Live each day as if it is your last with no regrets.  Be kind to yourself and others.  With faith and hope you can do and conquer anything.  Believe in yourself and others.  Enjoy your life and rejoice.  Do what makes you happy.  It is one big adventure.  Live, learn, and love in happiness and faith.  You only get one go at life, so live it to the max and always believe the best is yet to come.

Love, Me
