If only........


If only I could go back 47 years how would I change my life?

* I would never say a harsh word to anyone

* I would never forget to say thank you

* I would seek out the beauty in everything

* I would be a much kinder person

* I would have listened to others more and talked much less

* I would ask my grandmother and grandfather to tell me more stories

* I would have been more understanding of my mother's struggles

* I would laugh much more, cry much less and live my life my way



don't get me wrong I wasn't abused or neglected..... I was simply forgotten.

There were bills to pay and jobs to work so I was forgotten

There were two younger children so I was forgotten

There was a divorce going on so I was forgotten

  1. Hey, Wench! Everything you list here, you can do NOW, in the NOW, doesn't have to be a list of regrets or wished-for do-overs. Don't relive those things to hurt yourself -- take the lessons and use them for your life in the present. You hear?

    Your picture is SO DAMN CUTE!!!
