Letters from my future self.

[junebug]

So, my therapist recommended that I write letters from my future self, to my current self.  It’s been very therapeutic, and I definitely recommend it!  Here’s a blog with the weekly letters I’ve written, check it out!!

Welcome aboard Nicole!

 

I love it when I see others writing for therapy!!!  I know, we all cope differently but writing was especially helpful for me during the storm and although I do it less frequently now, it's still the best way to give my mind some rest.  I read both of you letters.  I like them.  The one about the star gazing reminded me of my annual Perseids observation.  Last month I drug my spouse and kids up on the roof of our suburban home to watch.  In 2017, my spouse and I set up an air mattress on the deck and watched until we fell asleep.  Star gazing always leaves me feeling tiny ...but in awe of the fact I'm alive ...and also a bit eerie too.  It exposes a variety of feeling not often felt.  Oh! ...and your parents?!?  Geez, can I relate to that!

My therapist recommended  the same.

I've been  in online therapy for about a month.

I wrote my first letter this motion from my heart.

Amazing revelation.

Thank you for  your  post.

Nicole, 

 

I had time to read your blog post and I liked this line. "So, keep getting lost in the stars and keep hoping for more, because I can tell you that the journey is so, is worth it!  I sit here, now, writing an old friend.  She doesn't know me as well as I know her, but when the time comes, it'll feel like we're one."

 

So true!

Thank you Jani.

That's a future I hope for 

I'll share two more I've written later

Hi

Another letter from my future self.

I hope someone is encouraged.

My therapist smiled as she read it.

Gave her goose bumps.
