"You cant go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending"
C.S. Lewis
If only I knew in highschool (insert college, before marriage, before kids, when I was 20) what I know now..
But I didn't.
And am guessing you didn't either.
And unless there's some kind of time travel thing I don't know about, it is virtually impossible to go back in time (unless you are Michael J. Fox)
I am trying my darndest to live in the moment.
It's the new post cancer me.
Be present.
No more woulda coulda shoulda's.
Enjoy the time you are in.
Bask.
Breathe.
And of course-
duh-
buy the shoes and eat the chocolate.
It's not that I regret who I was.
I was who I am- just with some clouded judgement and a bit more insecurities.
But after all, I grew up in an era where we thought parachute pants and leg warmers was a good look so the insecurities kind of come with the territory.
I'm trying real hard not to look back (because lord knows my road as of late hasn't been a fun one)
I want to feel happier about me
I want to be less judgmental about me
I want to be more accepting of me
so working on a bucket list....
write a book
go to bora bora and stay in one of those cool hut thingies on the water
buy a house on the ocean
be a contestant on wheel of fortune
go to the superbowl
parasail
learn to take really good pictures
cruise to the Greek Islands
be a consistent size 6
meet George Clooney
go on an African Safari with my family
ride a gondola in Italy
learn how to use chopsticks
be part of a mob flash
get into a decent exercise routine
indoor skydive
renew my marriage vows
downward dog without wanting to pass out
what are some of yours?
