The Road Not Taken

[CaliforniaNow]

How far would you have to go back to get there and, if you had a million bucks, would you go back and take it?

[CaliforniaNow]

I'd have to go back to when I was 18.  I moved south instead of going to college at home - followed my parents when my dad was transferred.  Bad, bad choice.  Because my husband was introduced to me by one of my cousins anyway so it's not like I had to be in the south to meet, marry, and have my wonderful kids.  Your kids start school; somehow you get stuck.  You bet, if I had a million I'd go back and at least see.  If I didn't like it, I could still go elsewhere.

I'd go back to my second year of high school and chase the guy I really wanted.  Unfortunately he got away and married someone else.  We can't go back in time, but it's sure nice to dream.

1961.  There is something I need to finish.

4.5 years, and no I wouldn't go back.  What happens, happens.  We learn from our choices and move on.

1991.  I would not have accepted my ex's proposal.  I'd have stayed working where I was, and lived in Joliet longer, so that I could be closer to my family (especially my youngest son....who was going through a rough time).  I had another fella courting me at the time, and I didn't take him seriously until it was too late.  I had no idea he was so serious about me.  I would like to have stayed on my own a bit longer, and given more thought to my next move.  It couldn't have possibly ended up any worse!  And, who knows?  Maybe it would have ended up a little better.

1970  right out of high school I should have gone on to college and become a teacher, but I chose to get married and have a family....5 great kids:) I don't think I would change a thing except tolerating a few things I should not have......no regrets. I think flipper may have the best outlook really. Just make it through alive..."alive with passion in my heart and appreciation for all I have"

I love my life now all that stuff got me here however I would love to try and do it over without all that mess in the middle. I would have loved to finish school with a profession and see where that took me.

I agree. Sometimes our choices are sort of guided by kismit or something. Maybe we are needed to be placed in someone's life and existence to help them understand something, or to help them through.

I believe we do have choices and some of them are humdingers. I wish I knew all the answers before choosing certain things, but as mentioned, we do the best we can, and learn from it as best we can.
