Several. To begin with, the day I stopped writing and did not pick it back up until a year ago. Too many years and experiences in between.

The day I found out that I had a cancerous tumor. Thank God, it was operable.

MT, I'm just glad you are writing again. I really enjoy your humor. The non-writing years have probably given you a wealth of topics to write about. The memories are just waiting for you to write them.

I haven't done a do over day. Never even crossed my mind before. I might have to try that sometime.

I never thought of it either. Great concept.
I've had days that I wish I could take back and do over though.

I played a videogame with my godson on Saturday. I'd do that over.
Help me get a publishing deal with a 10 rating and a comment. I comment back.

I has a perfect day with my older son last year. We spent the day at Discovery Cove water park, snorkeling and swimming with dolphins. It was a rare chance for one on one time with him. He is a teenager now and I know our time together is getting short as soon he will be busy conquering the world.

Haven't had any days recently I'd like to do over. Perhaps some of the fun days when my son (now 23) was little. Back then, everything was new and wonderful for him, and therefore for me too. :-)

Let's see, I am somewhere near 18,067.5 days old, so I probably have about 850 days behind me that, if possible, I should probably do over. Since I am only allowed one "do over" per comment, I should probably ponder this for a while. I'll get back to ya.

Oh, how I love this post! What a cool concept, the idea that could go back and re-do bad days, or start over ... I didn't see this program, but will watch for it. That said, I do believe that God gives us great lessons in the bad times. At one point in my life, for example, I might have wished I never had to have my hips replaced, or experience the pain/disability I had prior to the surgeries. But oh, I learned so much! I wouldn't change the chance to learn those lessons. That said, after loved ones pass on, I often wish I could go back and be kinder, more loving, and tell them what they meant to me. I am being more careful now ...

I have learned to never abandon writing just like MT said. If you abandon your passion, it will abandon you! I was so desparate when I found out that the writing had left me, that I wrote a love poem to my Writing!

That was one of the sadest days of my life, and I will never let it happen again! Although it does make for good poetry!

I always want to do over anytime I can stand in the rain with my children. I love the rain, and find it quite inspirational. I want to do over all my visits to California, because I was born there, and I feel I should have stayed there. I love the ocean, and I don't want to think about doing it over-because it can make me feel so sad not to be there.

I have lost a lot of friends just like Cindy up there. I always treat my friends with love and tender care as best I can. I lost my father in June, but I have no regrets about how I treated him, I loved him the best way I could.

I have had a few days that I would like to do over. I only have time for one so I will pick the days I spent with my friend just bumming around and taking pictures. Good friend, nice weather, interesting photo subjects. I want to do that over and over again. Thanks for the memories.

If you live to be 80, it only gives you 29200 days.

Hopefully they're all do over!

That is a very intersting concept Jan.

I think everyone has days they would like to "do over".

I am also still doing my "firsts"

I wish I could do over the day I fell down a flight of stairs and shattered my ankle which brought on the RSD/CRPS disease I have. If only I would have never have fallen down those stairs................. but I did. And being disabled has taught me many lessons about not only myself but about those I care about and my family as well. It has taught me about people who I thought were my friends, but were only fair weather friends. It has taught me that I don't have to do everything myself - I always wanted to do everything myself. It has taught me my house doesn't have to be perfect. Oh gosh, so many things... Most of all, the pain I live with continually makes me know I am alive.
