Everything that has happend in my life has ended up with something else that has happend for a reason, and if it wasn't that day it was the next day that something positive happend. I look at life with a glass half full rather than half empty. If it wasnt ment to happen it wouldn't have.
In any situation you have to look at the good rather than the bad because if you looked at the bad stuff you would live a very sad life.
Sure wouldn't want to live over the day I broke my leg and tore up my knee, or broke my back in a patrol car accident, or the day the guy I was arresting hit me in the head with a ten pound cast iron grating and knocked out my upper teeth, nor the day I read my ex's diaries...though there are some I don't want to forget but those are personal and not for sharing...
:O)

I wrote all about it HERE
i have 2 days that i would continue to live over and over and over.
my wedding day. it was perfect everything went as planned it was 70 on the 22nd of feb in western pa!
our family and friends and we had fun at the reception.
my other choice
would be the birth of my child. it was extremly cold bad january that year we were driving to the hospital and there were a few flakes. the pain was forgotten the exact time i heard him cry and i melted completely when i saw him and have not recovered after these years.
i would never change anything with either day they were both perfect
James is adopted and I had the amazing honor of being there when he was born.
What an amazing experience between the true miracle of childbirth, the emotions that went along with realizing your dream of adopting, the intense love and gratitude you feel for his birthmother and the love you feel for him ... I never had the experience of touching the hand of God before that day and never had since. What complete awe!
That was October 4, 2005 @ 11:20 p.m.
I'm very sad, I didn't listen to my teachers.
Mine would be December 24, 2005 (or 2006, I forget the date!). That day, we had gathered up all the last minute shopping, all the kids were home from college with their friends, the house was full of the smells of holiday baking and cooking, everyone was buzzing around, busily wrapping presents at the last moment. Bad weather was on the way, and we agreed (because I'm very chicken about driving in bad weather) that once we returned home that afternoon, we wouldn't go back out again. Just as all of us pulled into the driveway, frozen rain began to fall and everyone hurried inside. We all watched Christmas specials, wrapped, ate, laughed, sang carols and the children gave us our lovely anniversary present. They're always angry with me about our wedding anniversary because whenever they ask me what I want for our anniversary or for Christmas, I always tell them, "I already have what I always wanted." When they push me, I laugh and tell them, "Oh, alright! If I have to pick something, I would like a white Christmas!" This usually gets a laugh as we live in Corpus Christi, Texas, the land of the palm trees. About 8 p.m., one of them looked up and yelled, "Look! It's snowing!" We all laughed because we thought she was making fun of one of the Christmas specials. She just kept gesturing out the window, yelling,"It's snowing! It's snowing!" Sure enough, a gentle snow had begun to fall. My husband and I thought it wouldn't stick to the ground, so we encouraged them to put on coats and go outside to see it. It snowed and snowed and snowed until they began to build snowmen in the yard and throw snowmen. We finally had to call them back in so they wouldn't freeze. We turned off the lights except for the Christmas tree and all of us watched it snow. The world outside became silent and still because the police had closed all the streets in town. The next morning, the snow clung to the ground in deep drifts, everyone opened their gifts and all of us were just happy to be together, warm and safe.
I was happy to share my anniversary present of a white Christmas with everyone!
It was a long, long time before I forgave myself for that.

My wedding day was perfect, but I wouldn't relive it over and over and over - as with childbirth, the best bits are yet to come. So not the day my daughter or son were born, either.
The day I went for a ride in a hot air balloon with my mom? See, there are moments I'd like to cram together in a single day and relive them all. I'd be hard-pressed to choose just enough to fill a 24-hour period, but it would be easier than choosing ONE DAY. I could at least spend a precious hour or two with everyone, every day.
I know people say live with no regrets and would not change a thing balh blah but I think they have secret things they did that they wish they would not have done! I think its human that pretty much everyone does
