1. i used to whine about cutting the grass. i had a riding mower. a nice one. then one day i got it stuck in the mud and the engine exploded. it is VERY useless now. and the prospect of cutting weeds on 2 1/2 acres with only my weed eater and a pair of scissors made me tired. so just as the weeds were reaching the window and i could no longer see the kids when they played in the front, we were given a push mower.. FOR FREE!! and i have never been so glad to have sore tricepts in my life.
2. at my dentist, after a 6 mo checkup and cleaning, the smiley front desk woman hands me a postcard. i put my address on there and she files it away to send to me, reminding me it is time to come in again. so essentially, i mail Future Beth a card every six months. it started out as a little tiny smiley face on the card, the n when i got it in the mail, it made me giggle, like i had just pulled off a prank. then i started writing notes to my future self - "any super powers yet?" and "how long did that exercise plan last this time? - and "how did that big cub scout dinner go?". it is kinds fun!
what shall i write to myself next time?
Funny you should mention this because at work here they started using boomerang with gmail. You can write emails and have them send at a specified time. You can set it up for free to send up to 10 messages a month.
ReplyDeleteNow if you can figure out how to also receive messages from future Beth, that would be epic.
You know one thing we could try- You could write to me, and then i could write you BACK! I would even include a smiley face.
