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

1. I would have gone to graduate school soon after college. I loved college, so continuing basically made sense. I think many folks wish for more education. And BTW, I am at an "untraditional" age with grown kids, and I have finally made it back not too long ago.
2. I would have spent more time with my mother before she died (she died young).
3. Even though I have a really nice husband and we get along well, I would not have been so willing to let him "call the shots" so often and would have asked to see a family counselor if things could not be resolved.
4. I would be more consistent with managing my finances, saving and not allowing myself to get into debt. I'm working on this stuff now.
5. I would have taken better care/respect of my physical, spiritual and emotional health consistently.
( I am also working on this currently).


I am grateful for my decision early on to marry a very special man in my life whom I love dearly. We have been married for over 25 years. I'm also grateful that a few years ago, I took the time to work on some things that I had been neglecting (see 1, 4 and 5) and it has really made a positive change in my life.
