Ive joined a 3 session course on substack , my sister and friend has joined also. Our third session next week is writing a letter to our future self. I feel so low at the moment and dare I say it depressed so this post has come at a good time for me Jacqui. Thank you xxx

I hope the exercise helps Francis. After what's happened the past couple of weeks I can totally get that you're having a hard time. I know that writing the letter was interesting for me and even looking back on it a year later it's let me see things that I hadn't before.

Yes, embrace the gift of life, smile every morning and live in the now, all resonate with me. You have a good, strong philosophy for living your life with kindness to yourself and others plus curiosity and enthusiasm. Enjoy your campervan trips, your dreams, Kim and your lovely little dog. Fantastic Jacqui !!

Love

Sue

Your letter to your future self, and reconciling yourself to how it is in the "after times" are thought-provoking, Jacqui. I'm glad you're finding positives and also acknowledging that the "before times" were not perfect.

"But I’ve found out that it’s safe to come out of hiding." I'm so glad that you have.

Thanks so much Wendy. It was interesting reading it just a year after I wrote it so let's see how that goes in a few more years when it really is 10 years on...
