If I knew then what I know now......
With age comes some degree of wisdom. Sometimes, I look back and wonder where other choices would have lead. And I find that if I could do it over, I would consider:
1. work for the government - I could have retired 2 years ago with full, lifetime income and insurance. 2. if #1 wasnt feasible, I would have foregone higher education and learned a trade. The freakin plumber putting in my hot water heater makes $100 an hour! Never make that in my field. 3. I would have bought a home at a much earlier age - like when I had the energy, strength, and stamina to be a home depot 'ho. Its easier to flip thru the yellow pages these days. 4. I would have never started smoking. Aside from being a nasty habit, the cost equates to an extra mortgage payment per month. 5. I would have become a vegan. I am getting weary of the survivors guilt whenever hunger pangs occur. 6. I would have paid more attention when Mom was making her homemade stuffing. Thats one recipe gone forever. 7. I would have taken more videos of aging relatives. I miss seeing them and hearing their voices. 8. I would have paid more attention to holistic health and less to traditional medicine. 9. I would have considered a run for political office when I thought I had all the answers. 10. I would have spent more time playing and less time working. Anyone else?

1. I would have come out to my family before I did to the rest of the world - the gap was over 20 years.
2. I would not have accepted some job offers and would not have turned down others. 3. Like Kobi I would have paid attention and gotten a couple recipes from my grnadmothers. 4. I would have told those bullies in school to kiss my a**! 5. I would have taken better care of myself. |

I would never have assumed that my kids would extend the same unconditional love and affection to me that I extend to them.
I would never have assumed that running away, be it physically or emotionally, would result in my problems being left behind. I would never have assumed that because I was a 'good' person, others would always take that into account when judging my words and actions. Basically, I would never have assumed anything. Words |

...would have never let myself be *persuaded* into giving certain relationships more chances and/or staying longer than I should have.
...not trusting what I know to be truth. (so much more--but there's two!) |

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...

I would have
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. |
