Following is an excerpt from an email I received and I thought the concept was interesting. I'll be writing my own letter to keep handy and in sight, probably in a few places as I'll never know when I'll need it.

SUBJECT: Writing a letter to the old me POSTER: PCGDAWG

Well it's been about a month and a half since we parted ways. You know, the longer I walk away from you the less I act like you. Sometimes, in a moment of weakness though, when life seems unfair, I can almost feel your shadow stop as I walk by the refrigerator. I know you'd like to open it and try to find something cheesy and greasy like a slice of pizza, but you know that there's none of those things in there anymore. You know what else I've found out since you and I separated? I'm beginning to notice that it's increasingly easier to get up and down out of chairs, my feet and legs don't hurt as bad, and I can breathe better. People I meet who don't understand what it was like to be you and think I miss you, but I really don't. I will say that it's different, but it's a different I like more and more everyday.... Since I don't have you around to feed, I am actually looking forward to tomorrow. I almost forgot what that felt like, but now that I remember I'm going to turn in so I will feel like getting plenty of work and exercise done tomorrow.

Insightful, counter-opinion. Yeah, you are right CB. But in that, we can learn and read our own letters with more open eyes. Excellent point, m'dear!
