My Dad sat me down at the age of 16 and told me......” Son, If you will listen to me, you can retire at the age of 35 and have everything you want or need ”

Damn, I didn’t listen.........


If you could go back and start over, what age and why ??

At that age we don't want someone to show us the path, we have to create it ourselves.

There is no age or starting over for me. Doing so would change who I am today and I would not jepordize that for anything. grin

If I could go back and start over, yet still be who I am today.......it would have to be age 32. No earlier because that is when my last child was born and I wouldn't want to be without any of them. I would have divorced their father the same year and saved them and myself a lot of pain and anguish instead of dragging it out several more years.

There is only one thing I would do in my life different, and it would be to tell my mum that I loved her 06/06/86 instead of arguing over who was going to do the washing up.

Its the day she passed, and it was the day before I grew up in one hell of a hurry.

Apart from that ... hell no! I have had a wild ride. It isnt over yet!yay

Well with the work I do I never got to stay in one place for more then a couple years, having friends but never being anywhere long enough to form deep bonding relationships, when I was younger I thought I had it made, I've lived in 6 different countries and got to see the cultures in their eyes and not as a tourist, but now when I see family's around the Christmas tree or the guy coming home and being greeted by his family I do get a very empty feeling inside..

So if I knew what I do now, back when I was 20, I think I would have done things different.

On the bright side
After this assignment in Holland is finished, I won't have to travel anymore, so I hope it isn't to late to find what I'm missing

cheers
