Hey folks,

I heard an interesting idea on the radio today where people left messages for themsevles in the future. The idea works like this: you write a note to yourself, and then plan to read it in six months. Maybe you will want to have done something by then, or maybe you've just started something new and want to see how you're going in six months. 

Here is the place where you can check in with yourself six months later:

Here's my message to myself:

Relax and breath... relax and breath.... eat healthy and smile.

Lovely idea ... I have been doing something like this by noting my appointments diary with phrases and comments in the future.

What a great idea..
"It will be ok"
..and that lovely quote from 'The First Best Marigold Hotel'
"Everything will be alright in the end...and if it is not alright, it is not the end"

Fantastic @Kate70 @Annie2  @AlienBP2 @Appleblossom - I'm going to put a reminder in my diary to let you know when it's been six months so you can check in with yourself. 

Will check in on April 1st, I know it's not exactly six months, but I'm thinking of the easiest way just in case other want to join in on this activity this month. Then I can set reminders on a month by month basis. And of course, feel free to initiate the check in with yourself and others anytime. 

 Looking forward to seeing where we are all at in six months.
