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.
当我的笔尖再也触动不了一丝真挚,当我的笑容再也勾勒不出一分想念。你是否还记得,曾经有过一个男孩为你写下生命的誓言。年华流逝,岁月消沉。往昔不负存在
时间是一棵没有年轮的树,永远不会老去。
是否还该靠近,有一天终究会被时间分离。
是否还该期待,有一天梦想会变得支离破碎。
是否还该微笑,有一天笑容被用尽,就只剩下了痛楚。
是否还该流泪,有一天看着她走,却选择沉默,发现泪水只不过虚伪的表现。
当所有可能的假设都变成离开的理由,是该为猜中假设而高兴,还是该为选择离开而悲伤。
那些一次次的理由是心灵的自我安慰,还是屈服于现实的借口。
我们只能说,当面对很多人时,我们选择沉默。当只剩下两个人时,我们只是看着,说着一些陌生的话语愈加沉默。是习惯了还是妥协了?那天,风很清,云是浅白色的,天空是那种淡淡的蓝色——那天,很单纯,天空只有2种颜色——那天,很孤单,天空下只有两个人——那天,很冷漠,两个人只有只言片语。
是谁让我们沉默?是谁封冻了内心?是谁把谁静静地放置,留下一种莫名的悲哀?
今宵酒醒何处?杨柳岸,晓风残月。
孤单的街通向无穷的黑暗,路灯发出的微弱灯光,让人心寒。就在昨天,我们还信誓旦旦地靠在一起。明天,却各走一方。是我们不相信爱,还是爱早已经被埋入深谷。或者,根本都没有爱。
是我们习惯了把言情小说的`悲欢离愁加载到现实生活中而无法自拔还是现实根本不可能发生的事让我们加以虚幻,以及于离去已成一种习惯,幸福必须铺垫上一层眼泪。
事实上,从一开始,这就是错的。现实又怎么能成为虚幻,这本来矛盾的两种事物又该如何加载到一个幸福的结局上呢。
是谁打破了往昔的沉寂?
原谅我,离开的这么早。连呼吸都没留下。
水是一切有机体的主要组成部分,全球动植物和40亿人体内含有约11200亿吨水。人类社会依赖水而生存发展。古代,人类对水取利避害,适应水而生存;近代,人类对水兴利除害,兴建工程,开发水利,控制水害;现代,随着社会和生产的发展,地球上可资利用的水日趋短缺,水体受到污染,严重影响人类生存的环境,人类逐渐认识到水是一种重要资源和环境因素,从而在更高的水平上开始对水开展了新的兴利避害活动。
世界气象组织1996年初指出:缺水是全世界城市面临的首要问题,估计到2050年,世界2/3以上的人口将生活在城市,而全球有46%的城市人口缺水,必须平衡社会经济发展和城市淡水供应管理二者之间的关系,进行水资源的储存、输送和管理的大规模工程建设。

巍巍呼高山,汤汤乎流水。飞涧旁这段以诚相待,曲论相和的一瞬定格为千古佳话。知音难求,伯牙奏琴为子期,摔琴亦为子期。这情意如何不令人感动。而今,披肝沥胆的知音再也难觅。只缘人们拥有的纯洁太少。没有水的纯净,没有透明敞开的胸怀,着世间就无真诚可言。何不收其虚伪,展示真诚。
看着这透明如水晶的水,我们那颗被世俗之尘掩埋得太久的心,怎能没有冲见天日呼吸真诚的冲动。拥抱纯真,拥抱真诚,去成就一段马克思恩格斯般高尚的友谊,去结交一位誓友,莫逆,忘年,只要心相知,手相牵,意相同。
水教人真诚,正如叶尖那滴雨露,透明纯洁,折射出太阳的光芒。
天下之柔莫过于水。昼夜不舍的滴坠去赋予水无穷的力量。因渺小而被忽视,因忽视而暗中积攒着力量,直到将万年磐石一点点磨蚀,在世人惊叹的注目中有了穿石的壮举。
明白了持之以恒,竺可桢数十年如一日,观察记录天气情况,终成举世著名的气象学家,懂得了锲而不舍,贝多芬在静寂的世界中,用心灵演奏了命运交响曲的豪壮,有了水刚柔相济的力量,这世上多了几份执着,几份坚持。
水教人执着,正如那穿石得滴水,下坠,下坠,最终拥有成功的欢悦。
水,这就是水,水以其博大,纯净,力量感动着我,而我亦将用博大,纯净和力量去书写自己的人生,我不敢奢求拥有一段辉煌的人生,我只企盼今生无悔。
