Afternoon Thoughts... Did I Accomplish Anything

Just found this quote that is making me re-think things today...

"I no longer ask the young man's question: How far will I go? My questions are now those of the mature person: When it is over, what will my life have been about.

Harold Kushner

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself that?? Are you satisfied with the way you have lived your life to date?? Would you change anything??

I'm sure that would be on all of our minds lol

I should have gone to college, the only thing I regret.

its never too late. I remember reading about a woman (years ago) who graduated at 90! Don't think that I could pull that one off, but she did!

Are you satisfied with the way you have lived your life to date? Nope to many regrets and not enough of doing things for myself. My wants, desires seem to have taken a back seat.

Would you change anything? I would have to say yes, I would have made sure that I didn't compromise myself in what I wanted out of live etc.

I think that there are a lot of us who take a backseat when it comes to doing things for ourselves. I agree with you on this one :)

I somewhat regret moving to the city yet, more so, I regret selling my house to move to the city! Renting it would have created a wonderful nest egg. Smiles!

I'm pretty satisfied with my life. If I changed anything I wouldn't be me and I don't know if I could tolerate a stranger.

although in some ways there are things I wish I'd done differently, I know that I wouldn't be who I am if I hadn't gone through what I've been through. So, for that reason, no, I wouldn't change a thing
