Hi Self, Been a long time since I have given myself the time to even think about talking to you, or in this case writing to you and letting you know that you are going to be OK. Yes things have been tough over the years, but in the end You will be just fine.

Remember the time when you were eight years old when you were learning to ride that bike dad bought you? How you lost your balance and skinned your knee? Mom cleaned it off and put a band aid on it and sent you off to try again. You were just fine then wasn't you.

Well here you are turning fifty in a couple of weeks and you are wondering what the rest of your life will bring. Not to mention, where you life has taken you. All those lost dreams and promises that seemed to have fallen by the wayside through your life. Are they really lost? Have you really broken those promises? I don't think so. Maybe some of those dreams have been put on hold for a while. And those promises that you had made to yourself. Were they really broken? Not at all. Changed maybe to fit the things that were best for you but yet you had kept them in some shape or form.

When you were twelve, the dream that stuck with you all your life was to be an author. Well you had written about anything and everything. You even took classes in high school to work on that dream. Although you wasn't published, you kept hold of that dream. Now what have you done with it? You are now posting articles on Helium where others can read and rate your work. That my dear friend is publishing your work. Now others can read what you wrote and hopefully enjoy your stories as they flow from your head, through your hands and onto the word processor.

Some of the dreams that you made are still forming. Like the dream of owning your own home. That my friend will come. You just haven't found the right home for you yet. Let alone the money for that down payment. But in the end, that will come too. The time for that isn't right yet.

Time and time again you have made out your goals list and crossed off the things that you ave already accomplished. Yes the list of goals are still long and seem to be so far away, but the reason for that is that you are adding to it. You finish some goals and fill the spot with others. That is called growth. Nothing more or less.

And that job of yours that you have. Yes that terrible unbearable job that seems to just don't get you far. Well remember, for twelve years before you moved from that little town in Maine, you were out of work. The
