It's the little things...

     This past week my mood has swung from ecstatic to bleh to happy to being blue for no apparent reason.  These last few days I've just been moping around during the day, unconnected sadness welling up inside.  And then today I get a notification on my phone that I got a new email.

The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Sunday, March 7, 2010, and sent via FutureMe.org

Dear FutureMe,

YOU ARE AWESOME! Now go out and buy yourself something spiffy! :D

Love, PastMe on March 7, 8:56 PM

     And suddenly my day was just that much better.  If past me thought I am awesome, surely she couldn't have been wrong.  This little note from myself of which I totally forgot about truly brightened my day.  Which just goes to prove that it's the little things in life that make it worth living :)

     I just went to the website and made a new message set for a random date in the future for myself.  It's a bit longer than this last one, set for sometime in September, congratulating myself for my second year in college.  I can't wait till I forget about sending it.  

     And now I've a task for you.  I want you to go to http://futureme.org/  and write yourself some kind of positive message.  Write three words, write an essay to yourself; I don't care.  What I do care is that you give yourself a wonderful message for sometime in the future and promptly forget about it.  I guarantee you your future self will be grateful for the reminder of how amazing they are.  Now go off and make your future self happy.  :D
