I’ve received a letter from…me today. From this site, I keep forgetting about, but then this is its general idea – you say something to yourself affected by the whim of a moment and then forget you ever said it. The site I’m talking about is futureme.org and I am sure I have mentioned it not once in the past, every time when I was getting random messages from the past…So today I’ve got yet another one that I’ve sent to myself a year ago. I won’t feed human curiosity and post the message. It has certain sentimental value and some embarassing symptoms of weakness...It was written by a different me, a frightened silly girl I was a year ago… just a year, can you imagine?! So much has changed since and I feel I’m changed too. In my mind this change is positive, of course. Yet unwillingly I heard the blues playing while I was reading my own letter from the past…not too much, just a little moment of blue music. Nothing else but compassion for that girl I used to be. As it always happens, once I am reminded of the chance to create few premonitions, I visited my futureme space again and found yet another letter that somehow I’ve missed or have forgotten I’ve seen it in its time in my inbox. Anyway, I had an opportunity to check it out and here is what I found in it:
Today's Experiment: “There is only one starting place I know of. It's here and now: two of the least popular locations in time and space.” -Mandy Evans- 1. Take a piece of paper and write the words “Blue Sky List” across the top. 2. Take at least two uninterrupted minutes to write down what you would want if you could get it out of a clear blue sky - an Aladdin's lamp wish list with unlimited wishes. 3. When you have completed your list, give yourself thirty seconds to write down anything you want that, if you don't put it down on this list, you won't get it! 4. Go back through your list, and for each item, ask yourself “what would be even better than that?” Write down your answers. 5. Date the list and put it somewhere where you're likely to stumble across it in about six month, having completely forgotten about it.
So, sure enough, here it was, my Blue Sky List and boy, wasn’t it just plain silly?! Well, like with the classic “makeawish” routine, I am superstitious that if I’d tell what my wishes are, they won’t come true, so am not going to. Silly, I know, and Sea Lee is my name. But I want to make a note that to my own surprise I have…errrmmm…”one and a half” of them did happened already! How cool is that?! I said one and a half because if I’d be completely honest, one wish was near-hit and the other – semi-near, part true with the other part not quite yet there. Guess what I did with this message. I updated the relevant lines and…resent it again into one year from now, curious to see which wish will I get next.
