A Twist of Fate

Have you ever stopped to look back on your life and wonder how things would have been had you taken the road not taken?  Of course you have!  We all do.  Do you look at them as “regrets?”  or is it just another “experience?”  A choice, a decision, a twist of fate…call it what you want, we all have them. 

What are yours?  Is there something you can do differently today that will rectify those decisions, those experinces?  For example, I chose not to go into architecture, and instead pursued a nursing degree.  Was that a huge mistake?  No–I’ve accumulated valuable life experiences as a nurse, helped others, and learned a great deal.  I still have an interest in architecture and design and can fall back on that as a hobby.  Perhaps I will design plans for my dream home one day.  Or maybe I’m just dreaming?! 

What’s at the core of your thoughts today?  How have your past experiences and decisions affected the person–and the parent–you have become?
