I'm not sure if anyone is ever really satisfied with what they've done with their life. There are some things that I would like to undo but it's impossible. So the best I can do is learn and grow from the experience. That makes me a better person today.

Obviously, I haven't done all I can yet or I wouldn't still be here. There is still purpose to my life.

There are a lot of things that I wish I had done and didn't, but at the time, it was beyond my control. I didn't have the opportunity to them when I had more control of my life. Got married and had children way too soon, but that's not saying I regret the children at all! I regret my first marriage, but again, without it, I wouldn't have my two oldest kids.

I've sown my wild oats within limits. I'm blessed that I didn't get into any real trouble at all although I was judged quite severely by my mother. The judgement was way off base and I've had to overcome that.

We're all a work in progress. Because I'm older than everyone here, I feel that I'm closer to being the person I've always wanted to be simply because I've worked at it longer than anyone here.

As far as being remembered, I doubt that will happen. LOL But if anyone does, I'd like for them to say that I was a loving person although a bit opinionated but usually right, NOT always. It would be nice if some would remember me as someone who tried and succeeded at the important things in my life.

The things I would like to change are really insignificant in the big picture.

This moment, I'm enjoying. I like to spout what some people call "wisdom." LOL For the most part, I like to recall enjoyable moments in order to dispell the cause of the moments that are not enjoyable or even worse. Been there too many times to suit me. But if we don't have bad moments, how would we enjoy the good or best moments? We'd have nothing to compare them to.

There have been times when I've felt lost, especially when my depression/anxiety had the best of me. Looking back, I can see that I was lost at other times, too, and didn't know it because I was ignorant and literaly "in the dark" about many things. The past 30+ years, since I've been married to my present husband, my faith has been growing. After the kids all left home and married, I had even more time to devote to learning about my faith. Then Depression struck and learning more about my faith brought me out of it for the most part. It didn't happen with faith in God alone. I had to have faith in my therapist and in the meds I was prescribed. It's all worked for the better for me. I can look back and see that most everything "bad" that happened to me has strengthened me, made me more accepting of others, has given me compassion, consideration and thoughtfulness for others. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I can truthfully say that I'm not lost. There's no hurry whatsoever to move on to the next life, but if my Maker calls me home, I'm ready. The choice isn't mine.
