Alright future me,

We've done this before and didn't get very far. But we've picked more practical goals and it seems like we might actually get through most of the list this time. But, whatever happens, wherever the storms have taken us, I hope it was a wild ride. I strongly believe that our life (even if it's not really *going places* whatever that means) has been such a gift.

There were times when we questioned if getting through the rough crap was worth it. There were moments when we needed the people around us to scrape us up off the pavement and help us find our way again. But all the darkness, all the frustration, anger, and sorrow has been worth it. We have seen so much, done so much, learned so much. There is only more from here.

And sure, maybe more looks like less sometimes, but there is value in that, too. I hope wherever we are when we read this again, we still have room our heart to appreciate every little thing that comes our way. I hope we continue to have gratitude for those around us because we have surrounded ourself with some pretty stinking amazing people. I hope we have time for little moments and lots of love.

That's what all this is about, right?

Living your best life isn't always moving onto the next thing, or accomplishing some major goal. Maybe it's a nap on the couch with Elyjiah. Or a game night with friends. Or binge-watching a TV series we hate ourselves for loving with Mama. I hope this journey reminds us to enjoy all of what life happens. Even the things that hurt, because that's what opens us up to more.

More life. More love. More joy. (less) (less)

I've never written a letter to myself before, I thought it would be weird but it was actually pretty inspiring thinking of all the things I hope to accomplish in just 992 days from the day I wrote it .. Lets hope I remember to open it on the 8th of October 2021 .. I will find it in my memo (...more)

New Year's Eve tonight. Opened and read my letter, the contents of which I had completely forgotten. I very nearly cried at how many promises to myself I have kept over the past few years. I very nearly cried at the last two lines, both of which have come true--

"I hope your grief has eased (...more)

Received this, so cool!

The following is an email from the past, composed on March 29, 2016. It is being delivered from the past through FutureMe.org

Hi, it's just your 32 year old self writing to say hi. Don't mind me. I was inspired to do this by that bucket list website, dayzeroproject.com. Hopefully you still know what I'm talking about. If you don't remember, check it out to see how much of it you have accomplished (username is dreamcloud). Anyway, just know that's what your past self really wanted to achieve since I wrote this.

I'm sitting in the front room we recently painted red with both boys causing chaos with their toys. Pulling everything out of the toy chest and climbing on everything. They're only 4 and 2... what can you expect? Counting down the minutes until bedtime now.

It's been exactly 7 weeks since Dad died. I still can't truly believe it. I hope you are doing somewhat better now? Or that there have been no other unexpected "incidents" in our tiny family? Still very much shocked that the rock of our family is gone forever... far too soon. I'm sure it has sunk in a little better for you. But for me, it's still fresh.

All I hope for you is that you are happier now. That things are more settled. That things are still okay. I really do wish you all the best. I now know how precarious everything is and it's terrifying. For that reason I can't hope for too much because nothing is assured. :(

So, you're 35. That is a scary number, I have to admit. Time to really get serious. You scare me, future me, because I don't know what things will be like when this email reaches you. I only wish there was "pastme.org" to reassure me!

Best wishes,

your old self (less) (less)

I should have done this right off the bat. I was in such a miserable place of despair the month/winter I started this list. I was heartbroken, depressed, lost and full of anger. Now I'm just plain old, boring, depressed. A letter from January 2014 would have been a reeeal treat to read in (...more)

This was wonderful for kind of re-affirming my intent and my hopes with this challenge, helping me visualize the life that these goals reflect my trying for. Can't wait to see what it's like to read it in 2018!

I wrote a letter to myself and my husband on day 1 of our 1001 days calling to mind all the excitement that was held right before us over the next (almost) three years. I can't wait to look back on it at the end of our time and remember the excitement I had for the adventures we would share!
