The days for this year are in the low numbers. If you could take back something you said or did in 2015 what would it be? Would you do something else?

Oh HELL yeah I'd change something, in a New York millisecond... It was a seemingly insignificant thing (something that, in normal circumstances, I probably would have forgotten about by now) that turned out to have caused my separation. ohwell

But you don't get "do-overs", and regrets are only good for wasting your time (if you allow them to), so all I can do is to try to do the absolute best I can with every day that I'm given from here on out...

Yep, the only take back for 2015 was the minor fender bender, I had back in April, that caused me to buy a new car. I loved my Oldsmobile, and had planned to have that same car in retirement. Not a day's trouble did I have..And I liked that it was a paid for car too....oh! well...

Yep there sure is one thing I would take back if I could. But you cant take back trust once its given. When its gone, its gone. Lesson learned....again!:no_good:

I found myself thinking about this thread today, & it occurred to me that maybe some things are supposed to happen - and maybe it's just arrogance to think that, even if we could go back in time with the knowledge that we now have, we could make a difference in those events.

I don't have an answer for that, but it got me to thinking...

True if you take back something it might have changed the course of your life. Generally when I wish I could take back something it is either something I put of doing earlier or something I feel bad for not doing. I feel like I probably should have jumped in and done more for a couple of issues that are important to me. The quote about "Be the change you want to see in the world." is kind of pestering me.

2015, has been enlighting, filled with happiness and much sadness... I can honestly say, I would
Take back nothing... I have seen life changing events in a different light, and have come to

Take back? No. Can't think of anything.
In a way I would've like to have gotten to where I am now a lot sooner, lol. But even that I accept, as I also see I simply wasn't ready yet.
Some things take time, like good wine.

Yeah I would take back the way I reacted over the last year. Should have never let them get to me or play me like they did.

Hopefully 16 will allow me to never forget that I am that good!

I've been putting off going to visit someone. When you first leave somewhere, and you're so emotional about it, it's very overwhelming. I left in February this year. Haven't been back to visit them yet, as I know I'll still get choked up, just walking through their door. Even if a relative or friend just mentions the name of the place, I start trembling with upset. I must buy them all a christmas card, at the very least. I remember the manager got me a leaving present. That place means a lot to me. There's not one day I don't think about it. It's more to do with the people there, than the actual building.
