"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been.' " ~John Greenleaf Whittier
i often find myself playing the WHAT IF game...
What if i had gotten out of bed when the alarm clock rang this morning
What if i had eaten a salad for dinner instead of that sandwich
What if i had never moved to Hawaii at 21
What if i had gone to college instead of dropping out on that very first day at SFCC
What if i had studied harder in high school, made an effort to get high scores
What if ...
What if ...
What if ...
my mother was always fond of reminding me: "if wishes were horses; beggars would ride"
the things i wish for are the things i can never have. time to forget about the 'coulda beens' and accept the way it is.
I hear ya girlie! I always say,

Oh honey, you wouldn't be you if all those things. You know if you ate the salad instead of the sandwich, etc.
And I like YOU!
I agree with the other jen.....you are YOU! Yet...I LIVE in the land of what might have been....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jen. I think about what I would change if I could but then I wouldnt have my girls. I guess I will survive the shattered heart since I have them but it is a long hard road. It would be harder if I didnt have you kicking my butt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being you.
