If I knew then what I know now......

*I would have worn more Coppertone. I had no idea of what skin cancer was.

*I never should have been so trusting of certain people online who claimed to have been my friend. Instead, I am so disappointed in our own community. It seems to happen alot. And that in itself makes me very sad. I just don't get it.

The Lady Snow was/is right.

*I would have been animal rescue-ing alot longer than what I have been so far.

I would have loved my parents better. Now that I am a mom, with a kid like me, boy do I appreciate my parents far more than I did when i was young

I wouldnt have sold my home in the suburbs to move out to the country

I wouldnt have added my partner's name to my bank accounts...lost my family farm over that one

I would have had less horses all at once

I would have gotten my licensure as a SW as well as LPCC...

I would have gone on for my law degree

I would have gotten halloween candy for Mrs Rogers...I let her down

this is good for now...

Talked less,listened more.

stoped trying to be such a hot shot,yeah I made it but the price was way deep.

Had a whole lot less horses to care for.

gone to college sooner.

paid more attention to ppl older than me who walked the path I was on.

Trusted less ppl who said they were my friends and werent.

paid more attention to my gut feelings..

once and a while just live in the moment.

I would have spoken up more....about my perception of my mother's boyfriends, about my abuse, about my desire to go to school, about not wanting to put others on my accounts and cosigning for them, about what was going on in my gut and head and I would have followed through. I would have been the person then I know I now can be. That would have saved me a lot of time, pain, and trouble.

I wouldnt have been too shy to dance

I wouldnt have gotten married the first time. I didnt love him. I wanted to, because he SO loved me. But it was during my drinking years. I married him so I could feel better. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I hadnt made the connection yet that I had a problem. And of course, to feel better could have been achieved had I gotten into AA sooner. But, out of it, I got my daughter, so no, I guess i wouldnt have changed that after all...

I would have figured out a way to help my brother before he died

I would have gone to work for the prison system. Oh the security I would have now...
