Posted: Mar 14, 08 5:21am ...what might you have done? For example, if I, in my early 20s knew what I know now, I might have studied ethnobotany ...  One or 2 things come to mind, I'd had joined the Coast Guard, or if not that, after my first marriage went down the toilet I'd had accepted that offer i got in the mail to enter the Maritime Radio Officer's Union's apprentice program. And I would NOT have gotten married the second time. Come to think about it, I wouldn't have gotten married the first time, but I still would have had my daughter just the same. She's a neat person.

 Posted: Mar 14, 08 5:41amOne or 2 things come to mind, I'd had joined the Coast Guard, or if not that, after my first marriage went down the toil... funny how those marriages seemed like such a Good Idea at the time....... Posted: Mar 14, 08 5:43am...what might you have done? For example, if I, in my early 20s knew what I know now, I might have studied ethnobotany ... Changing things would change who I am today... and I kinda think I am pretty OK just like this. That being said, I would have skipped the whole marital enchilada. Or at least, skipped marrying who I did, as that was a WASTE of my good energy. I can't say whether I would have finished my degrees by now or not. Life is fascinating, and I will never really be done learning. So having my education open-ended like that doesn't really bother me. Some people think they stop learning when they leave college with that piece of paper. Not I....

Posted: Mar 14, 08 6:51am...what might you have done? For example, if I, in my early 20s knew what I know now, I might have studied ethnobotany ... I wouldnt change a thing. Sure, I made plenty of mistakes back then, some huge. But I figure it was all part of getting to where I am today--great marriage, great kids/grandkids, great health, great career. Life is good Posted: Mar 14, 08 6:53am...what might you have done? For example, if I, in my early 20s knew what I know now, I might have studied ethnobotany ... I wouldn't change a thing. Life's been good. The things that have not been so good made me wiser so that the events that followed were even better. I'd plant the same exact garden of my past, because despite the weeds, so many beautiful things came out of it. Posted: Mar 14, 08 7:06amI wouldn't change a thing. Life's been good. The things that have not been so good made me wiser so that the events th... Pru and Jaki* are so right on the money ..! Sure, changing the past "could be nice" ,,but one would not be who thay are today, if they did so. As Gordon said .."life is good".. Froggy | ADVERTISEMENT  |
