Oh there are so many things I would do differently. I love where I am today, and wouldn't change that for all the money in the world but I would like less regrets for sure. I wish I wouldn't have needed to find my self worth in a boyfriend. That led to some really poor choices and decisions. I wish I would have gone to live with my dad and step mom. A minor thing, but I wish I would have paid attention when my step mom was trying to teach me to sew. Now we live too far apart.

If I could do my life over I would forgive those that hurt me and evict them from my life forever. I would have been a little more selfish with my giving to others and enabling them to want more and more from me. But all this has made me guarded and who I am.

If I had do-overs, I would learn to take better care of myself at a much younger age. I was always the responsible one, the industrious one, the do-it-all one, and don't remember any joy, because it was never enough. In my family, getting a B grade was considered failing. I would have called a halt and learned that my self-worth didn't come from pleasing everyone else and neglecting me. I'm still working on unlearning the lessons I was taught.

I would have gone to college instead of "waiting till...". The "till..." never came, and neither did college. So, when I was a single mom I also had a very hard time of it, and maybe I wouldn't have married the wrong guy if I had been able to make ends meet. So, yeah, that's probably the one big regret in my life...college. Do over? Ummmm....I have a lot of wonderful things in my life, and my kids are #1. I would have those 2 girls all over again, even with the hard times mixed in.

If I could do over ... One thing for sure, I would of taken up quilting when I first had the notion of trying to make my daughter a quilt when she was little! (newbee now) I would of continued to work at the job I had instead of leaving to try and have children, (some difficulty) and possibly retired from there. But I must say, after having the joy to have two children, being a stay at home mom was great. I would not spoil my children as much as I had, made them work for things instead of giving freely! lol but I doubt I would change a thing I have done for them! Love em to pieces :) And last but not least... I would exercise more!
