To the Future Me..

Dear FutureMe, The purpose of a "time capsule" is to remember the past, and offer a checklist of goals to see how close you come.. My goals at 70 are certainly different than ones only 5 years ago.. but the things to remember are important. My 70th Surprise Birthday party with all my kids, grandkids and even little Great-granddaughter, Alysha.. such a joy! The best thing about this year has been my daughter being clean of drugs and I hope she has her son back by this time. I wonder how he will ever heal the loss of his Mom for this 5 years now.. but she knows how to help him. Finally, at 70, I have my perfect job, my passion in life! Are you still able to work everyday.. just for a while? I was foolish, and neglected my health.. even with everyone telling me.. I must exercise..Use it or lose it... but I didn't listen. Now it's important.. but is it too late? I love my work with the computers and the kids.. I don't want to lose it because I can't walk. YOU MUST EXERCISE. Will the future bring someone for me to love and have it returned? I don't miss it as much as I NEED it.. and have very little hope. Again, foolishness made too many bad choices. Will my hardheaded Chisai still be with me? She's getting older, too. I hope you're spending more time with friends.. getting out of the house. It's too comfortable to just entertain yourself with a book, or the Internet. You learned a lot about depression this year, and you know you must keep working at it.. to keep "working on your people skills"!! Well, as often as I change ISPs, it'll be better if I keep this to only ONE year at a time.. maybe I'll actually get it back. I hope so, .. Above all, do what you need to do to stay happy. It's always YOUR choice. Love you......
