I would have bought land, lots of land, and lived more simply and naturally eariler in my life. I would have followed my dreams with abandon and have encouraged (read pushed) my husband to do the same. I have no regrets, (except for the land I don't have!) I have lived a good life and been happy for the most part. I am reaping much fruit now and I take pleasure in the little day to day joys. I continue to expect that better things are just around the bend. In truth the biggest thing I would change in hindsight is to not have lost my temper with my children. It was never worth it.
:H What I would have done different? Well, one thing is I would have pursued my dream of becoming an oceanographer harder. I never got my life together enough to really be able to keep a relationship together. Circumstances seemed to rule my life rather than me. I should have told departed friends how much they meant to me while they were still here. I would have listened to my Grandfather more intently, his words get wiser with the years. I should have planned to get old someday But, it's been a trip that is still growing, hopefully it will peak with me finally finding my soulmate.
Life is full of regrets.Big or small,they are there.How we learn(IF we learn) is the important thing,IMHO.I have more then enough my own damn self.
I would have left the Pepperoni off of that Pizza we ordered the other night... and maybe, just maybe... I would have gone up to say goodbye to my mother.... nah.
