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.
我的家乡在小金县,这里有金库般的丰收;花园般的干净;鲜花般的芬芳;森林般的茂密;新生命般的蓬勃!
以前听爷爷讲,我们这里是个人烟稀少的小山区,没有车路,只靠牛、马、自己的血汗从很远的地方驮或背回自己需要的东西,而自己出产的却卖不上一分钱,我们的人过着艰难的日子。而现在不同了,我们这里虽然是弯弯曲曲的山路,但,是宽阔、干净的柏油路,通往各家各户把我们的土特产送往各地,卖出好的价钱。还有我们这里有风景如画、植被茂盛、生物种类繁多的“双桥沟”、“长坪沟”、“海子沟”,具有东方圣山的“四姑娘山”,举世闻名的卧龙大熊猫自然保护区,吸引了世界各地的游客,也为我们带来了财富。
以前,人们用一滴滴汗水浇灌出来的庄稼收成不好,费了农民伯伯的一片苦心哦。现在,科技来了,这样新奇的农药,那样有效的肥料……秋收哦,家家户户堆得小山似的,啊,金库般丰收的家乡!
以前,我们这里到处是垃圾,可称得上“垃圾城”了,河里各种各样的塑料袋,这就是人们的作品呀!现在街道干干净净,河水清澈见底,天空湛蓝深远。啊,花园般干净的家乡!
以前,各家各户院前屋后都只种瓜果蔬菜,为了不饿肚子,不栽一株花,各种颜色参在一起,挨挨挤挤,杂乱无章,乱七八糟的院子。现在,每家都不怎么种菜了,种上了鲜花,一年四季,各式各样的,绚丽多彩。啊,香哦,芬芳迷人般的家乡!
以前,大人们常常砍树,来换取财富,郁郁葱葱的树几乎砍完了。夏天非常热大家只好坐到河边扇扇子或躲在屋子里……而现在不同了,国家有了退耕还林政策了,到处种上了树,郁郁葱葱的树林又回来了,不管是狂风还是暴雨,树林像卫士一样保护着我们。啊,森林般茂盛的家乡!
以前,我们住着破旧的房子,一下雨,屋外下大雨屋内下小雨,在狂风暴雨中屋子似小树飘飘摇摇。原来孩子们没有钱读书,耽误了自己最好的时光。现在不同了,国家政策好了,家家户户都修建起了漂亮的房子,每个孩子都走进了宽敞明亮的教室。啊,富有新生命般蓬勃发展的家乡!
家乡还在不断的变化,将会变得无法想象。家乡,我喜欢你的变!
他们质朴,他们善良,他们勤劳,他们勇敢,纵使我拿出千百词语来形容这里的人,这里的景,可是却永远也不及这不胜美景的如诗如画!天底下谁敢放肆的说可以画出这里,写出这里,呈现给我们它独特的一面?没有。这里太令人神往了,我不懂描绘,也不屑去描绘,深怕我那粗糙的文笔玷污了这片令人神往的故土。没有江南的风花雪月,没有西藏的粗狂豪迈,这里仿佛融合了中西美景,造就了一片神奇故土,这里的美景细腻如画,这里的汉子粗犷如山,少去了江南的柔情妩媚,增添了一丝在中原的阳刚之气。
少去了西藏的一丝粗犷豪迈,却多添了一丝难以言状的细腻,要说江南是一名柔情似水的少女,那么我的家乡便是一名血气阳刚的少年,要说西北是嗜血如歌的英雄,那么我的家乡则是一名白衣飘飘的书生。我确实不东的赞美,怎么写,怎么都充满了喜爱之情,怎么看,我眼中的它只有有点没有缺点,完美无瑕,如同一块浑天璞玉般照射着令人迷醉的光辉,夜色如墨,如同一张黑色的绸缎将其牢牢锁住,漫天的星辰随意飘散,这里,真的是人间么?
我轻轻的叹了一口气,眼中闪烁着晶莹的光辉,一阵和风吹过,脚下那柔软的草坪也轻轻摇曳,偶尔飘散来的那若有若无的花香迷醉了我的心扉,远处偶尔传来的一声蝉鸣婉转悠扬,睡吧,我真心要醉了,就能醉人,美景,不能醉人么?我深深的热爱着我的家乡,眼中满是希望,五千年的光辉历史就此绽放,三千年的辉煌如歌,诉不尽;道不完。我不禁有些凄凉,这等美景,这等辉煌,就只有我一人欣赏?手持残笔,我在轻轻书写着属于我的家乡。。。。
每当华灯初上,晚风习习,看着这闪烁这万家灯火的家乡,心底油然生出一种莫名其妙的感觉,是敬爱,是热爱,还是……
走在繁华的路上,看着路旁那一幢幢鳞次栉比的高楼,让人不禁叹服;那一幢幢的高大又不失精致的大厦,让人赏心悦目,店铺多不胜数,虽然它并不是闻名遐迩的大都市。白天的廊坊(车辆川流不息,夜间的廊坊灯火辉煌。听大人们讲廊坊的往事,我不敢相信,我热爱的家乡以前竟是一个不起眼的落后的村落。
廊坊,您的历史曾光彩一时,也曾黯淡一时(删除。公元前4300年,廊坊人的祖先就在这片富饶的土地上生息繁衍,创造并延续着那古老的文明。在您怀抱中出现了许多震撼而感人的事迹:清朝末年义和团抗击八国联军而去得得(取得战略性胜利的廊坊大捷,民国时期的平安事件……但每一件事过去后总会暗淡些时日。(删去。
廊坊的历史悠久,廊坊的现在充满生机。回首(删除今天,廊坊便捷的交通,迅速的发展,优美的景色无不让人惊叹不已。廊坊,现在已经化身成为一个美丽的、富饶的`、具有时代性(现代气息的城市。
我爱我的家乡——廊坊,因为她(它有一条宛如公主般的龙河,气质高雅;因为她(它有那自强不息的精神,从一个落魄的村落发展成有时代气息的城市;因为她(它的环境清幽,芳草怡人……
我爱我的家乡——廊坊,因为当你想远离生活的烦躁,不必远离廊坊,也不必去找个小村庄,在她(它的西北角,你可以找到一片幽静的乐土——自然公园;因为当你想饱览艺术,领略艺术风采时,不必远离廊坊,也不必去找任何专门欣赏艺术的地方,在她(它的东部,你可以找到一条通往艺术世界的路——艺术大道。
我爱我的家乡——廊坊,爱她(它的美,美得令人叹为观止,绿色的世界,多了几丝恬静。草丛里,树林中,你会发现各种各样的鸟儿,翩翩起舞的蝴蝶,美丽勤劳的蜜蜂,还有……一起组成了一幅温馨甜美的画卷。
这就是我的家乡,虽然她(它没有深圳的富有,没有海南的美丽,没有云南的优雅,也没有青藏的宏伟,但她(它依然是我所爱的家乡。
我爱我的家乡,这片孕育了我生命的土地——廊坊。
我的家乡是一个四面环山的小县城,坐落在秦岭山的脚下,第一眼就可以看到有一条小河,清澈的河里有很多的小鱼在水中自由自在地游来游去。两岸山上的翠柏四季常青。我的家乡就像是一个美丽的公园,是西安的后花园,也是安康的北大门,这里一年四季都有看不完的美景,我的家乡是宁陕。
春天,山上的迎春花,桃花、梨花……都百花争艳的开着。从远处看,山坡上有红的,黄的,还有白的……五颜六色,美丽极了。各种花把山坡全盖住了,从远处都能闻到花的清香,花香扑鼻,真是令人陶醉啊,不时几只蜜蜂在花丛中采蜜,嗡嗡嗡的真可爱,一缕缕的阳光穿过刚发芽的树叶,照在那娇嫩的花朵上,是为了让花儿露出美丽的笑脸,这么多美丽的景物融会在一起,真是为春天增色不少。
夏天到了,清晨,在河边白鹭从天上轻轻地飞下头伸到水里去捉小鱼之类的,真是让他们美餐一顿,人们刚起来推开窗户,清馨的空气里夹杂这花的清香扑鼻而来,真舒服,人们闻着这种甜美的气息就开始这一天的工作,中午虽然阳光强烈,但是到了下午人们刚吃完饭,就开着车到小河的上游去游泳,边欣赏着沿途的美景边吹着凉风一点儿也不觉着热,这时也是我们最开心的时候了,因为我们可以在河里玩耍,还可以在河里让小鱼亲你的脚,痒痒的但很舒服,天边的红霞,像晚风微笑,头上飞过的鸟儿,绘成了一幅自然和谐的风景画。
秋天来了,凉风送爽。田野里,一片丰收景象。那金灿灿的梨子,红彤彤的苹果,还有像小灯笼似的柿子,挂满了枝头。秋风吹来,那熟透了的果子随风舞动,送来一阵阵迷人的清香。农民伯伯正忙着走进果园,去采摘那丰收的果实。他们小心翼翼地把果子摘下来,放在包篮子里,回到家里,和家人一起分享着这美味。
冬天到了,洁白的雪花飘落下来。山坡上、田野里、屋顶上、到处是雪花。这里的美丽景色让人们仿佛进入了一个童话般的世界。孩子们在雪地里疯跑着,有的在堆雪人,有的在打雪仗。大人们也在忙着,有的在打扫卫生,有的在置办年货,虽然天气寒冷,但每个人都觉得很温暖。
我的家乡,不论什么时候,不论什么季节,都有一道道迷人的景色,我爱我的家乡!

我的家乡在焦作这个平凡而美丽的小城市,在我的家乡,有著名的云台山、风景优美的缝山针公园。我最喜欢的就是缝山针公园。在缝山针公园,树很多,草很青。
我终于到了缝山针公园,赶紧下车看看周围的景色,感受着温暖的春风。春姑娘仿佛在温柔的抚摸着我的小脸蛋!
抬头看看天空,蓝蓝的天空上有各种各样的风筝。有老鹰样的,有蝴蝶样的······小朋友们牵着风筝线在小广场上快乐的奔跑。
我从停车场旁边的小山坡爬上去,有一条小路,小路的两旁种满了柳树。仔细观察,柳丝上已经能看到那小小的、嫩黄色的“小苞”了!
顺着小路向东走,一个大湖映入眼帘。一阵微风吹来,水上的波纹向四面八方荡漾开去,又清凉又美丽。湖的四周砌满了各种各样奇形怪状的石头,还有很多小朋友拿着渔
我来到了山脚下,抬头望了望。哇!人好多啊!看来上山也不容易呀。上山的小路是由一层层的阶梯做成的,而且小路弯弯曲曲的向山顶延伸过去,真像一条长龙呀。山顶上,一枚巨大的、弯弯的针镇压着整座山,看着那么高大、那么雄伟!
我和爸爸一起走上了阶梯。我们才走到半山腰,就累的气喘吁吁,但是我和爸爸没有放弃,继续奋力地向山顶冲去!我们费了九牛二虎之力,才抵达山顶。从山顶往下望,哇!山下绿油油的,好像一大张绿色的地毯!山脚下有一条马路,站在此处望去,就像一条白色的围巾,围着缝山针一样。马路的两旁有很多摊贩,每个摊贩前面都聚了很多人,在挑选自己喜欢的美食。马路中间来来往往的车辆在穿梭着。我继续向远处望去,许多高楼大厦就像我平时玩的拼装用具一样,这儿一块,那一块儿,看着乱七八糟,其实是有规律地坐落在那里。
我的家乡美丽吧!我爱我的祖国,更爱我的家乡!
