Do you feel your job(s) suited you? Was family life all you hoped it would be? What do you think back on now? What do you think you would or should have done differently?

sweetate2 Albion, IN 67, joined Jul. 2013	My life plan was never mine to plan Childhood ended at the age of 10 I had fun but my security was always a fear.. I was terrified of being homeless and it was if I had to be the adult taking care of my Mother I had a mother that was shy and weak but she was stronger then any man could ever have been.. she did not believe in herself.... Through her I realized life is hard but you will make it through with Gods help... I moved to Va. and I loved it there so much but I was destined to come back to Indiana... If my husband would have stayed in military we would have been stationed in Hawaii ..I so wanted to go there and maybe if we would have our lives would have changed but I doubt it.. I would have not been so afraid of life would be what I would change and I would not have been so shy I would have believed in myself more... My path now is to just keep walking I agree with Heather very nice thread Nat.

bluesrule Marshalltown, IA 61, joined Jul. 2011	My main goal as a young woman was to raise my two children to be tolerant and contributing adults. Open minded to a differing opinion but yet strong enough to stand up for their own convictions. And I am proud to say that I accomplished that. I am the type of person that flies by the seat of my pants. Takes each day as it comes. Have had a lot of curve balls and knuckle balls thrown my way but have also had some wild and crazy adventures in the mix. Life has been ugly and messy at times but it has also taught me to live in the moment and not to second guess myself. So I guess if I was the reflecting type, which I am not, there isn't much that I would change. Well maybe the offer I received that one night in Wyoming. Hindsight can be a b*tch.

ramshakkle Interlochen, MI 65, joined Dec. 2012	I feel like I've lived a half a dozen different lives - all interesting and educational. I've had some satisfying successes and deeply gratifying occurances. I was always a little selfish about following my desires and the things I truly loved and made sure that I followed roads less traveled - for my heart and soul and mind. Had a collossal financial trainwreck resulting from someone else's secretive gambling in 2006 and recovery is clouded, complicated now by diabetes, plaque in my arteries and elevated blood pressure - but, I do have a scheme. If I can turn things around a little bit, I am still hopeful as I have a lot of creative outlets and hobbies - and, I'm still on my mission.

bigbogiman Corpus Christi, TX 65, joined Feb. 2011	I've been crippled to one degree or another since I was 11. Countless times I've ruminated about my life if things had been different. I've realized in moments of clarity that my path was secondary to my destination. I have 2 wonderful kids that I have a strong relationship with from raising them as a single father. I am who I am for the years spent as a spectator on the sidelines. My sense of humor developed at a young age to keep from crying. Being the oldest of 6 with dysfunctional parents prepared me for raising two more kids of my own. It was all a plan to make me who I am today. It just wasn't my plan. Who knows how I would've ended up if things had been different.

nat_now Ocala, FL 59, joined Jul. 2013	Overall, the big picture, I really can't complain, but if everything is meant to be, why do I still feel a tendency to be really pizzed off at times that instead of being more determined to fulfill where and what I wanted, I instead settled into paths that would be seen as worthy, to receive a parental "stamp of approval"??? Ugh Had I not felt my dreams were poo-pooed, schlepped off as frivolous or fantasy, or not profitable... or realized that it just was something "foreign" to those I sought advice and encouragement from but that it all was still very possible... Thanks for your posts. I don't find it easy to put into words and reading yours helps prompt me to find the ones I want somehow. I don't want to look back or sulk over what wasn't. But maybe sorting through thoughts can be of assistance to my future. Like not repeating history, lessons learned.

Your maturity and life experience can streamline your road back to whatever you may feel you may have missed along the way. You can still do it and do it even better than that incompetent younger person that we were. The world needs you. [Edited 1/21/2014 4:12:01 PM ]

nat_now Ocala, FL 59, joined Jul. 2013	Thanks, ram. But now my body is not competent for it and it's not something one can make up lost time for. The glory of it was in youthful years and learning on the job...If there were colleges for it I wasn't aware. Haha. Most are born into the environment, and carry it on like farmers do. At this stage of life I would still love to be around horses everyday, but I've lost all the years I wanted to be learning everything about them while being with them, riding, training etc.... it kind of breaks my heart at this moment thinking on it. It's something, too, that unless you're around them daily over life, one has no amateur business even around them, say in volunteering, Imo. I missed my op. Too bad, so sad. Now I get to say this pro cowgirl wannabe had to instead live up to and live up to well, whatever cards I drew from the pile or were passed to my hand to play. Always responsible and/or accountable to a fault...owned my own downfalls. I have wonderful successful offspring and I have my health. My Dad always said...if you have your health..you have EVERYTHING. So my thoughts default to that. And appreciation flows back through me.

pinetree10 Cumberland, MD 70, joined Nov. 2008	I can't think of anyone that has actually had a plan or dream early in life that ended up the way they thought it would or should be. Reality gets in the way. Bills to pay, food and rent, family, illness, all the daily crap we waded through on the way to 2014. I spent 30 years in a job that wasn't even invented when I was in high school. Somewhere along the way, we come to realize, its not who we are as much as what we are. We managed to end up as, basically, mostly good, caring, humble, plain ol' people, still hoping to find one more loved one to share whats left of this life. If that was a life path or goal, then I have reached it. And happy to be here.

heart_and_soul2 Sarasota, FL 60, joined Dec. 2013	In a nutshell, 35 years of pure happiness--One year of pure hell from cancer--Two years of just existing--and two years of finding "myself." I am the proudest of my three children. All three-are happy, loving, strong, and accepting individuals. And as of three months ago--all paying their own way-- My late husband and I tried to be the parents our's were not--I look at them now and see that all of our hard work paid off. My only regret is not furthering my education--It would be nice to get a big girl job-with the bigger bucks-

findingalicia Lexington, KY 66, joined May. 2011	Great thread Nat! Probably in all reality few of us have realized our dreams of childhood or years of adolescence, and on into adulthood. Often I wonder if I had made different choices if my life would have been better, or just different. Better in comparison to material wealth, most likely. And also different in that respect. Better as far as having gone though hard times and rough experiences, no doubt, but others would have reared up I'm sure. Like several people have written, I have been blessed with 4 wonderful childern, and to date, 6 beautiful grandchildren, perhaps there would be more, perhaps less, but I do know they would not have been the same people. So I regret nothing in relation to my children. Regret can be such a horrible eating emotion, it dulls the senses and blocks so many of the wonderful daily blessings. Regret has s place in everyone's life, but to let it control who we are now is "regretable"! I had many dreams and notions of what my life would be as an adult, few of those dreams have materialized, but such better dreams have pushed those from my memory. Learning to cope with our life as it is, being happy with who you are from the inside out, that is my life's goal. Still a work in progress. Wow.. this could go on forever!! But enough for now!

sankie1 Irvine, KY 69, joined Dec. 2011	Suppose my life's path wound around my choices to a certain degree. When I look back I am glad I had the strength to seperate the wheat from the chaff and decide for myself what it was that I pesonally required. I acted many times on that with my decisions and those have lead me to where I am today. Those that I made in error I learned my way around to gain momentum. In the process I made many choices that were right and I am enjoying life today because of it. There are many things that give us no choice and it's been my hard head that's carried me through the rough times. Also, the realization that there are simply things that you have no control over so take what you get and make the most of it. Health is an issue and gets worse as time goes along (aging). Don't allow it to cripple your spirit is the key to keeping faith and moving forward. Learn to laugh at yourself for all your crazy moments, crazy choices, and move on. Look forward to tomorrow and even though it seems full of despair, look beyond that. You'll find a warm memory and smile, perhaps even make a new friend. Oh yeah, the old adage "life is a B, then you die". That's true also. Just don't live by that code. Be stubborn and fight for yourself. [Edited 1/24/2014 10:10:04 AM ]

nat_now Ocala, FL 59, joined Jul. 2013	Gone through a lot of robotic motions of expectations. To deviate from whatever "calling" labeled "do right" was ingrained as would be having done less or wrong. So living "up to" takes precedences at times. And the road less traveled stays less traveled... Would it be so bad or wrong to accept the disapprovals for ones OWN good? Not living in constant regret...just reflecting.

When I was pregnant with my son never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a mom of an Adult son with Special Needs. Technically my son was born "dead" as in not breathing for 10 minutes of entering this world. Due to the lack of oxygen to his brain those 10 minutes, he wound up having a mind of a 4 yr old child, semi verbal, history of a seizure disorder, mild Cerebral Palsy and uses a wheelchair for long distance walking. Dramatically changed the outcome of my life. He will be 27 in March. He is my miracle child.
