Letter to my Future Self

Dear December 31, 2009 Crystal Ewers:

Hi - I hope this letter finds you well. Of course I wonder if you got your MBA, CPA, if you are still at Treehouse, if you lost all that weight you committed to, if you built your character at all, and if you enjoyed yourself on the Baltic Cruise.

Aside from that I'm interested in your personal relationships. Who do you consider your closest friends these days? How is Dane? Has he finally convinced you to play WOW? How are your parents? Your cats? What about Iza?

As usual I have more questions than stuff to say. I suppose if you want to see anything nostalgic, you'll just look it up yourself. Perhaps you will have some fancy scrapbook on your new Mac or something. Will you make a visualization board for 2010? What do you have in store for the new decade? For so long you've had your work/school/CPA goal to focus on. Now that all that is behind you, what are you looking forward to? Have you made arrangements for your big 30th birthday? Are you on to the next big thing? Painting, piano, PhD, law degree, or something else not even imaginable to me now?

I hope so. I am really looking forward to what we will be doing in the future. I also have no wish to berate you for your attitude or style. You are learning how to be you and how to live with you in the world around you in your own time and that's all anyone is doing. So what if you have passion and are quick to say things. There are those who never stand up for themselves or use their voice and they spend their whole lives pining over that. You have a voice and you know how to use it. And you are learning to use it well, which is all I can hope and work for. Stay the course, Lovely. You'll get there just fine.

Enjoy the moment,

Crystal Ewers
