...really cool idea man...kind of like time capsules...nothing better than surprising yourself or someone else...except for scooby doo...which surprises me every day...
"Inbox zero was the dream. Inbox 28,561 is the reality." What a story told right there in so few words. It reminds of the world's shortest story. "Baby shoes for sale. Never worn."
I have done this for many years on New Years Eve. Reading my thoughts and expectations from my past self helps evaluate the outgoing year and put things in perspective.
The insights are typically that my thoughts a year ago weren't as always important as they seemed at the time. Life continued on it's own path and sometimes being a passenger is just as rewarding as driving.

Thank you my friend. You're right, it's like a time capsule of appreciation.

Both of those bring a tear to my eye :(

That's a great practice that I should start doing too. What's been some unexpected insights you've gained from that?
