Zombie inspired letter

Dear Me:

Awashed in the hustle and bustle of life we forget our accomplishments and only focus on our failures.

Please remember these small accomplishments made during this journey:

* You have overcome extreme shyness to: organize a class (of 300) reunion; given a presentation to a hall full of people; fought for equality on many fronts.
* You have overcome self-centeredness to: foster a troubled child and give continued support; give birth to and nurture two wonderful sons; find a new life partner; open your home over and again, despite the warnings, to many neglected people; be a understanding, loving companion to several friends; explore your shortcomings and understand them; work hard for equality.
* You have overcome a rather lack-luster early education effort to: finish the necessary college courses in order to pass all the qualifying tests at your company; excelled all all the jobs held at your company; find wonder and excitement at further learning.
* You have overcome depression to: support your children when needed; support your friends; continue enjoying the wonders of the world.

Although you are still shy, self-centered, and relatively uneducated you have proven that when needed all things can be overcome.

I will try to remember that you are my best friend and take better care of you from now on.

Sincerely,

Me

I love this e-mail option (where it e-mails you when someone posts). I found it when I was trying to change my posting name to Annie - in honor of Carey's change. I couldn't however, figure out how to change the name or add links.

Thanks Nookie for the kind comment.
