WEEK 8

 

Letter to Self – No Postage Required.  (Chapter 12)

 

About midway through my chemotherapy, I attended a workshop where we wrote letters to ourselves. The topic was, “where do you see yourself one year from now?” I was the only one in the room with cancer. I was in treatment and didn’t know what my future held. I was bald. I still had to face radiation and future surgeries.

I will never forget the feeling I had when I read that letter months later.  Here are my takeaways from my letter.

• Always Be Grateful – I was reminded of how far I had come and of all I had endured.

• Envision the Future – Does anyone really know what their future holds? Why not dream?

• Appreciation - What is good at this present moment?

• Achievement - A gentle reminder of pivotal successes. 

 

 

REFLECTION TIME 

Now it’s your turn.  I suggest turning on your CD and play “The Water is Wide” or any music that will help open your heart.  Write a letter to your future self. Be very detailed when envisioning your future.
