**QOTD- 4/7/08 *

Good Morning Ladies,

Thanks again to Liz for bestowing me with the honor of BOTW. She did a great job and I hope to follow with a terrific week.

Okay so here goes my first stab at QOTD:

Many of us sometimes sit and ponder what we could have done differently or say if I only didn't do that or didn't say that or just think about the rhetorical question WHAT IF......

Do you have any regrets in life? If so and you'd like to share what is it or what are they? How would you have done things differenly?

OR

If you have no regrets... is there anything you wish you could change currently about your life be it social, economic, etc.

One regret I have is not realizing that life is short up to only a few years ago. Prior to 2001 I thought my parents were invincible and life would go on in our family as it had for the past 20+ years. I guess i was naieve or just an idealist. When my dad passed suddenly, our lives were turned upside down and all the thoughts came flooding back about what i would have done, would have said, etc and I regretted taking life for granted and the wonderful family life we had for granted and started to think more along the lines of living each day to the best of my abilities and not taking things for granted. I wish I thought that way sooner- but hey life is a learning experience.

Ok everyone it's only Monday but hang in Friday is only a few days away Have a great day!

Mich

i regret not learning the importance of family and family bonds earlier in life. i love my family very much, and they're the most important people in the world but it took until after adolescence for me to realize that. that being said, i feel silly regretting anything because i love where i'm at now and things would be much different if i'd taken a different course to get here.

Have a good week girls!

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I don't want to say that I have regrets because I feel like everything I've done has led me to where I am now.. andim happy with that....

I have some what if's.... i wantd to go for my phd in psychology....... and wonder what my life would be if i was doing that now... instead of getting my masters in lib. andinfo science.. and being a librarian

I regret getting a credit card application when I was in college. Thank God I paid off that debt

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I don't regret one single thing and I wouldn't change my life in any aspect. Everything in my past made who I am today and I am happy with myself and where I am with my life. I have a wonderful fiance, an apartment, a job, family i love so I'm really happy

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

i really don't have any regrets. if i made wrong choices then i learned from them. although, i do play the 'what if' game in my head. i think how my life would have been different if i didn't go away to school, if my family moved somewhere else, if i choose another major in college, etc.

I have no regrets. I love my life, and my past made me who I am. One of my fav quotes:

'I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well'

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I don't really regret anything... Everything happened for a reason in my life and I've learned many great lessons from my decisions.
I love the quote 'Never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted'

I really don't have any regrets. They made me the person I am today and I think I am a pretty good person!

OR

If you have no regrets... is there anything you wish you could change currently about your life be it social, economic, etc.
Well, I wish I could be more carefree. I used to be very carefree and not think of anything. Now, I play everything safe because of my wild past...

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I don't regreat anything in my past. It made me who I am today, the person I want to be and I learned from all of my experienses in a positive way.

I'm greatful where I am today and the man I will be spending the rest of my life with.

I tell my family everyday how much I love them and how much they mean to me, even if we are erguing, I still tell them. Life is WAY TOO SHORT!

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I usually go by a 'never regret ur mistakes bcuz this is how we learn' BUT the one thing i really really regret is going credit card and student loan crazy in college! i am certainly paying for it now!

Chanwich Posted: Apr 07, 2008 12:35 PM

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I try not to regret anything since I've learned from alot of my mistakes, but I would have to say that I do regret going for my Ph.D. I've discovered that I really don't want to do this for the rest of my life and I feel like I've wasted the last 5 years of my life doing something I really don't enjoy. If I would have known a little better about some of my other options, I definitely may have made a different decision. Oh well though, I'm almost done and at least my hard work will pay off

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I regret that I started smoking in high school, and that I started again after I quit. It is still a daily struggle to not smoke, especially at times like these when I am stressed!

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

Like I say everything in life happen for a reason... What doesnt kill u make u stronger... Everything that I have been through has made me and I wouldnt change it for the world.

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

The only thing I regret is not having a closer relationship with my brother before he died. The past 4 years he was alive we grew further and further apart because of family situations.

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

Do you have any regrets in life?

I have no regrets - I have a lived a fabulous life so far!

OR

If you have no regrets... is there anything you wish you could change currently about your life be it social, economic, etc.

I wish I could succeed in working less and that my parents were in better health.

Re: **QOTD- 4/7/08 *

I regret that I didnt build a stronger relationship with my mother sooner. I had problems with her for a long time..but the more and more time I spend with her I realize how important she really is to me...(Even though she still drives me crazy!)
