Letters

T

he last two nablopomo prompts ask a blogger to write 2 “letters” to themselves, one an apology for an event or decision in the past, one describing what’s going on now that the writer doesn’t want to forget.

I thought about the first letter much of yesterday.  While I can come up with a few decisions I’ve made in the past that I regret, most of them occurred before I had my children, and if I made a different decision, the children I have might be different or not exist at all!  Overall, I am happy with where I am at in my life, and the things I would change are either entirely up to me – exercise and lack thereof at the top of the list – or I can’t change no matter how much I want to – leaving New Jersey for instance.

If I wrote a letter about what’s happening now that I don’t want to forget, I’d probably cross that line of confidentiality I’ve mentioned before.  I’m comfortable sharing 90% of the events in my own life but try very hard to honor and guard the privacy of people close to me.  So this letter will remain unwritten or at least not appear on this blog.

Reflecting upon what might be in these letters confirmed that I’m where I want to be and on the right track!  Now to review my goals from #reverb10 for the first #reverb11 blogpost!
