Would you live your life differently? Or wouldn't you want to know where your life was going to be?

I think I would only make a few small changes if I could have, and no I would not liked to have known where my life was going to be, I don't think it was or is clearly laid out for me, so much could not have been predicted. I guess the biggest change I could ever have made.... be more assertive seems I am learning this later than earlier. Ohhh as well as, don't be afraid to learn, never stop learning....
Those 2 things could have helped me earlier on in my life.

That would not be very exciting. Working without a net keeps the pulse somewhat elevated.

I would have been standing next to my husband at the drug store, so when he passed out he wouldn't have hit the floor.

To a point, I agree with jb..you gotta let what happens, happen.
But on the other hand, I think I would have liked to work on my assertiveness and independance earlier..and tried to break out from under my mother's sometimes overwatchful eye. My parents had me late in life, and I was a bit smothered, and not always allowed to think for myself, or make my own decisions.
I ended up having alot of issues later in life, making it harder for me to be more responsible for my actions. I mean, I have never done anything morally or criminally wrong, but I got myself into alot of financial debt as well as other things that if I were taught more responsibility or made to be on my own earlier in life, when my parents would have still been able to give me support and guidance, I would have been better off.
I know this sounds like I am blaming my mom for things I have done wrong in my adult life. I am not really, but I also do not think that some of her values were the right ones to lay on me.

I would hog-tie Bullet and not let him leave the house on June 30th, 2005.

I would've stayed on the road a little longer, until we had a million dollars in the bank and then retire and have kids and all that.

If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have gotten involved with any of the men/boys/guys who I did. I would have found a way to start college and finish at a younger age. And I would have tried to live with someone else other then my mother when I was younger, for much longer than I did (grandparents).
I would have stayed away from certain bad company. And would have maybe taken a career that maybe sent me out of the country.
I guess I am feeling regretful today.:-2

If on April 27, 1997, I had only known to check off the 10 box instead of the 25 box in our State's Lotto game, I would have been a "Multimillionaire"! Instead, for 5 out of 6 numbers, I only won $2,411. Not bad, but a far cry from 3.5 mil.:wah:

I just wish I had pushed myself a lot harder when I was younger - I had a bad case of just letting the world go by - and not taking part.
