If I Could Turn Back Time...
If I Could Turn Back Time... As Cher sings... what would you change? Something personal, something that effects a larger population maybe even world wide? Don't feel obligated to answer like you are in the miss universe competition. An answer that is totally selfish is very acceptable. After all you only live once and there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself first. Especially for this question as we can't really turn back time can we... Would it be a lost love? A family member or friend that has passed? A financial situation or disaster? A friendship that has grown distant or ended? Recaptured Youth? Regain your health or that of someone close? Technology... are you the Unabomber or just want to go back to a simpler time? Maybe a career change? A missed opportunity? Vive La Difference |

I most likely would have stayed in the Military a few more years. I moved back because of my family after I retired. hugsssss V Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

I would consider changing several of those things. But . . . the things that have come out of the ones that didn't work as I wanted them to tend to work out pretty well. E.G. a lost love turns into another love. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I've given this subject too much thought over the years. I like to say that I wouldn't change a thing. .. What I've been through and my decisions led me to being the person I am. .. But there's always the "what if?". I tend to pass up the earliest one, which would be to not start smoking. .. That would have altered my childhood, and I couldn't even think about how that would have changed my teenage years. But I did make a decision as a teenager that I often wonder what would have happened if I had chosen the other option. I remember it well. .. It was a split second decision. It was actually something that I wish I had put more thought into, but thinking isn't a teenagers strong suit. I had an evening interview for a promotion at the telemarketing company I was working at. It went well and I was offered a major promotion. (I was only 17! This was a dream.) ... But downstairs, on the production floor, was a girl I had a crush on. .. She had wished me luck for my interview. I passed up the promotion, because it would have meant working the graveyard shift. (A shift I had worked and been comfortable in already.) .. But I wouldn't be able to date that girl if I was working that shift. .. I now refer to that girl as my "high-school sweetheart" .. We had some good years, but a messy ending. .. Ah, puppy love. lol I often wonder what would have happened if I had chosen my career. .. I'm not sure what would have happened. .. Even though I was a HS dropout, I was a rising star in my field. .. I knew computers intuitively. .. I might not have gone to college, but I would have followed a different career track for sure. But I chose the girl. Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

I would have spent more time with my Grandma before she died. I still miss her so much.

There are things that I wish I had the power to change but some events are beyond human control. So, I would change my feelings about exercise ... and learn (hopefully) to like it! Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

So many things, so many.

I can't imagine changing anything, even the shitty things (and trust me I've had some ultra shitty things happen to me in my life). I would be someone different and I wouldn't want to be someone else or have a different sensibility. If I were going to change something on a world stage level, I'd see to it that the entire script to Macbeth, and all of the other missing Shakespeare plays, weren't lost.

Wouldn't we all love to be 20 again? I'd love my 20 year old body and my 52 year-old brain!!! That is as likely to happen as me winning the lottery. Nice to dream, though.

Not to move to ARK!!!!

Being slightly flippant, I'd turn back time when Donald Trump's parents had sex and they decided with considerable foresight not to have had sex!

I would love to go back and spend time with loved ones that have passed on!

Missed opportunity...and now that we are at it bringing things back. give me back my damn youth and beauty
