I saw this on Brain Pickings today - Dear Me: Letters to my 16 Year Old Self. I know this concept has been done before, but some of the letters are interesting. Of course, we all know that our 16 year old selves weren't generally interested in doing much listening, but I like the idea anyway.
Care Package
We got nearly a thousand pounds of mail the other day and while I only got one piece of mail, the fact that it was a care package and not a bill or financial statement made my day. It's from my former roommate (from a ship way back in the 2002-2003 timeframe,) or actually, from her 14 month old daughter.
Given that it came from a one year old, it's no surprise that while there was a pretty clutch purse and a book mommy thought I might enjoy, it was heavy on candy, with marshmallow pumpkins, candy corn and chocolate covered almonds. There might be some candy corn left.
BTW Mom, based on the postmark, it took 23 days to get to me. We've got another couple or three thousand pounds of mail waiting for us in various locations that we're hoping to get in the next week or two.
