Selling my first house

Oh, lordy me --- I can't pick just one --- that's sad, right???  There were a couple, well maybe 3 relationships with men that I regret and they majorly impacted my life.  I regret that I didn't become assertive and vocal until late in life.  I regret my career path.  I could go on -- ha -- but some I don't want to write about --- and this is enough!  I've made peace with the majority of it.  I mean you have to or you should, right?  If you want to live a reasonably contented, peaceful life, you have to just accept what was, learn a few things, and move forward!

I regret not listening to and really asking questions from my parents and relatives about their past and experiences during WW2 and the Depression.  These things are just not important until you are older when you appreciate that kind of information.

This !!!  My middle sister passed just after Christmas so it got me to thinking.  When I had to go to my home town I went to the library and looked up my dads yearbook.  He was president of the National Honor Society, Class Orator, MENSA, I can go on and on, never ever knew any of this. Which really got me to thinking...

Where did my parents live in town?  How did they meet? What was their life like growing up?  I have no idea.  Called my oldest sister who is 13 years older, she has no clue as well!  

Questions lots of questions, parents passed when I was in my early 20's.  My answers are all buried with them.

I've made many life changing mistakes but the one that comes to mind was turning done a work transfer to Italy (the co worker who took it stayed nine years). I was, however, in Karlsruhe Germany, met my BFF, and subsequently ahe met her husband, as did I. So who knows?

  Of course, there are a couple of things I could have done better but I don't have any regrets. I did the best I could at the time. Everything in my life has made me who I am today.

 I'm confident, strong & very blessed.

This is exactly why, I say write your life story for your children.  Once we're gone, they could have questions and no one to answer them, just like you've found out too.

I made some very poor decisions in my youth -college age.  None of which I care to mention too embarassing.  Thankfully I matured by the time made the decision to marry my husband which wasn't one of my mistakes.
