Dear future me,
  Today is the day that you started the blog you had been thinking about forever!  A place to just write- because you need to write.  A place to share your memories, to have a record of what you learned and how you felt when you learned it.  You know, just in case you get old someday and forget things.  As you are looking back, I hope that you remember: Your life has been amazing!  You have been blessed to find enormous joy in the simple things.  Your husband and children are what bring you the most happiness.  Sometimes you feel wise- sometimes you feel naive.  You don't mind laughing at yourself and really try to learn from your mistakes.  And when you repeat your mistakes, you pick yourself up, have a little chuckle and try again.  You love to make people happy!  But you are shy and don't like to put yourself out there, so you do most things behind the scenes.  The spotlight is not a place you are comfortable.  As you started this blog, you hoped to be honest and real in your writing.  You hope to look back years later and see growth, and if you are lucky- wisdom.  Because really thats what you have hoped for: to be wise!
