If there is one thing you could do over...what would it be?

Hi Members,

There is always something we either regret we didnt do or wished we had done. I know i have thought many times ......if i could rewind the tape what would i do over. Soooooo many things....sometimes when i reflect i think i did it all wrong.

My biggest regret is not saying goodbye to my dad. 2 years had passed and we had not spoke.....and one fated day i got the call that he was gone.

i guess the best motto to live by is..........live each day like it was your last!

Lets see.......ciggys are another one. But finding LCB and all of you...........thats a keeper for sure!!!

Oh Lips:
    This is a post I could go on and on about. Terrible to get to any age and have regrets.  Regrets are tuff, and they can really get to us if  we allow them.
        I myself have some musical talent. I can sing, and I play guitar.  I wish I could turn back the hands of time and really of pushed myself to do more with my music.  I really think I could of been something. Perhaps I am giving myself to much credit, but I should of pushed myself, really got out there and saw what I could do with it.  If I failed at least I would know now, instead of always wondering.
            The other thing is I wish I would of never started smoking.

    Great post Lips. Really makes you think.

I have a few regrets and the one I probably regret the most was getting married to my 1st husband who was physically, mentally, and verbally abusive to me. I stayed in the marriage way too long because that is the way I was brought up. You stay and try to make it work for the sake of your kids. Well it wasn't the right thing to do allowing my kids to witness the abuse, fighting, and name calling. I wasted the best years of my life trying to keep it together. After 27 years with the kids gone and on their own I walked away and never looked back. It was the best thing I had ever done for myself. The other thing was not making a career in the area I had natural talent in, which was art. I always have regretted that.

Theres a song by R kelly.. "If i could turn back the hands of time"

No matter where i am, if that song comes on i cry every time..
Its embaressing, but i can't help it..
Many things i'd wish i could of done, and should not of done..

Thanks lips, it's not ever too late to find happiness for yourself and I for one am proof of that.

I love country music lips,to me it is music I can relate to, it tells a story and alot of times the words hit home. Today country music is different than years ago , alot of it is crossover. I always loved southern rock so country is good for me too.

Hi Deb,

I love country...if your heart is breaking...........grab a cocktail....throw on some country music....and it makes me feel like someone understands!

I am so across the board with music....depends on the mood. My all time fav has to be Sinatra over all. Thats pure romance! Took a pic with the chairman of the board today.......i think i might just put it up!

Lips  :'( i just now found this and you are right..  :'(

LOL Shelli, thanks You guys are great. I am so glad I found this forum.

Wow...I can't believe how many honest people are on this site!! Just about every time I hear this question, the answer is always nothing, because my past made me who I am today...........My regret is a little contradicting.....my biggest regret is getting pregnant at the age of 14, while I don't regret having her, I wish I woulda wait until I finished shcool and got myself a real life before I became responsible for one......but of course if I did not have her then, it would be a different child now and I can't imagine my life without her in it! But still, if I waited until later in life to have a child, I think I could have done a much better job, and would have given that child a much better life.....................

I would have been nicer to my mother.  :-\

thanks pal
