What if I was born into a different family?
What if I hadn't had the early influences I had?
What if I'd never left east TN back in the 80's?
What if my precious Angel had been born?
What if Cindy hadn't died?
For the most part these are positive what if's. Certainly I have a possible answer for each one. I know if these 4 things had developed differently, I'd be a very different person and have a very different life than I enjoy today. Some things we have no choice in, when we have a choice and make a bad one, we should use it as a building block, a stepping stone if you will. Certainly there are things I wish I'd done differently but I learned from each mistake. Sometimes I must say I didn't learn enough, but I've never had to mess up more than twice to get it.
Much more to this list both good and bad.
Great thread BTW.
