Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
Hello,
Dear me! Today I’m 100 years old. I’m amazed that I have lived this long. My family has a birthday party planned for me. I told them not to make a fuss but they would not listen. I feel like my time here on earth is almost over and I no longer have much to accomplish. My mind is somewhat sharp for someone who is 100. I can still get around with a walker but it is slow going. I miss the ones I loved that have gone on before me and I wonder why I am still here. Each year I just fill old and forgotten and full of regrets.
The party was amazing. I can’t believe they wanted to hear my stories – about what life was like back in the days. I was touched when my family told me how I influenced them. I did not know this. I can now say that at the beginning of the day I felt my regrets from the past. However, after today I no longer feel that way and can say…Thank you, God for the life I have had. I am ready for home when you allow me to come home.
