Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?
In college, i had a professor who had our class write a letter 5 years into the future. we were told to write to ourselves with the goals, wishes, hopes, and dreams that we expected to meet/find/enjoy...
in typical rose colored glasses fashion, i wrote my letter and gave it to my teacher, imagine my surprise when
five years later
a letter arrived at the farm, written by me, addressed to me
5 years from now i will be 50 years old
biggers...you will have finished your original commitment to the Navy and might still be in...or back in school
wee...you will have either just graduated from college with a year of work under your belt...or you will be working to finish up a combined degree with a bachelors and a masters degree
cherry on top...you will have just graduated high school...on your way to 4 more years with soccer every day or playing for a huge city team in germany
in 5 years i will be 50 years old
i expect to be happy with my work choices
happy with your achievements
happy with daddy
10 years from now i will be 55 years old
i hope to be doing what is right for kids every day and still loving it
happy with your achievements
happy with daddy
15 years from now i will be 60 years old
i hope to have mentored others into educationally exciting places
i hope to have supported your goals, wishes, hopes and dreams
i hope to be as great a grandma and mother-in-law as Gaia was to you three and to daddy
happy with your achievements
happy with daddy
and VERY close to retirement!
