If you could change one decision in your life, what would it be?

I went to a very small college and sometimes think I missed out on some college experiences. If I did it again, I would choose a large school.

I went to a very large university and sometimes wish I'd gone to a small one. Where they'd notice if you didn't show up! Where you'd know people! Ah well. That's what grad school is for ... to get a new and different experience!

I had a job transfer to Birmingham and had worked there for two years and it had just started to feel like home. My old boss gave me an opportunity to move back to my hometown and made me a great offer. Hardest decision I have ever had to make since I was moving back closer to family and old friends.

Although I am grateful for the life I have now, I do think that there would have been different opportunities (dating/relationships, different social groups and events than where I live now, and the ability to pursue more interests in a larger city) that I now wish I could have pursued.

Given enough time, I could probably come up with something! But right now, nothing comes to mind.

I married the first time at 22, divorced at 40.

During my second marriage, I wished time and again that I had met him when I was 22 and he was 30 instead of when I was 42 and he 50. I would have had children, and my life would have been so different! I would have something left now besides memories.....

But by the time he was 30, he had his own family; he would never have left them for me. When I was 22, I would have turned away from a man so responsible as him. We were destined to meet when we could have each other, and not a moment before.

I have one thing to say about opportunity. A favorite artist, Raymond Massey, started out writing short stories for magazines. One day he was asked to illustrate his stories, and his illustrations turned out to be better than his stories! He changed careers mid-life, and became a far more successful artist than he was a writer.

Life is all about the Choices we make, living with the Consequences, making Lemonade with our lemons, and starting over when we have to. Those are my thoughts, anyway.
