It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
生活中,存在着许多美好的东西,一个善意的微笑,一句温情的祝福,一个热情的拥抱,无时无刻不使我们感受到生活的美好。很多美好的事物,更需要将自我美好,让我们能在美好的生活中展现最美的自已,那我们应该怎么做呢?
一、 努力学习,让自已美好。
俗话说:“知识改变命运。”就拿孔乙已来说,孔乙已虽然是一个秀才,但因为没有考中举人,而受到了社会的冷漠不被尊重,遭受了被人埋没的处境。相比之下,小说中的另一个人物丁举人,正因为自己考中了举人,因此获得了金钱和地位,命运自然也要比孔乙已好得多。现在,科教兴国的战略政策,已经成为国家培育人才的重要措施。学习越来越决定了一个人的钱程与未来。由此可见,学习对我们来说至关重要,也是让我们美好的一种重要途径。
二、 学习固然重要,但是礼仪教育也必不可少。
人无理,无以立。我国是一个礼仪之国,儒家的教育思想,德与理都是儒家所提倡的。但是在现实生活中像某中国游客在埃及神庙刻“到此一游”的例子频频出现,这也不由得引起我们的思考,我们的礼仪哪去了?礼仪乃一个人的立身之本,更是一个国家的生存之基。国家能否文明,关键在于我们自身,学生是国家的未来和希望。所以我们应该从现在做起,从自我做起学习文明礼仪让自已美好,更让社会美好。
梁启超先生曾经说过:“少年强则国强,少年富则国富,少年雄于地球,则国雄于地球。”作为祖国未来的我们应该努力学习文化知识,弘扬中国传统礼仪,做一个文明的现代人,让自己美好,让祖国美好!
一切都已重新开始。陡峭的山路充满着危险与不便,走在山路上的她总是磕磕碰碰。为了能方便妻子的下山之路,那天清晨,他开始了“爱情天梯”的开凿。五十年风风雨雨,他却依旧天天坚持着,每天天不亮,他就会拎着工具一路小跑,她跟在他后面同样也是一路不停地小跑着来到天梯旁。他一边挥舞着手中的工具,她一边擦拭着他头上的汗水。闲暇的时候,他总会面对着妻子,微笑着说道:“等我造好了,你下山就方便了。”
“其实,我一辈子也没出过几次山。”摸摸老伴手上的老茧,她流着泪对山外来采访的“凡人”说着。
2007年的一天,他倒下了,倒在了爱情天梯的最顶端,倒在了他一辈子奔波劳累的爱情之路上。5年后的2012年她随他而去,留下的却是这为爱情奔跑了一辈子的凄美故事。
无数次驻足在那古老的石梯跟前,看着那一层层布满岁月沧桑的石阶。望着一望无际的天梯,我不知道该说什么。许久,一对鸳鸯从我的头顶上一掠而过,我开始让自己跑起来,跟随着这对鸳鸯一路奔跑着,不停的奔跑着。朋友们当你们路过这里的时候,也请和我一起跟随着这对鸳鸯奔跑吧!让自己跑起来,也许你们会收获人生最凄美的幸福。
闲言碎语如同一张无形大网,笼罩在他们的头上。现实的残酷逐渐累积成了巨大的压力,压在那两双稚嫩的肩膀上。为了保护自己的爱情,他和她决定私奔,奔向新的爱巢。于是五十年前的那天深夜,他们一路奔跑来到了半坡山。谈到这里,如今的她,脸上总是洋溢着幸福的笑容。
