I have been fascinated by life's journey especially mine. My life has been an enormous struggle from my premature birth to the present day 64 years later. I was asked of there were anything I would like changed if I had the power to do so. I said no it was perfect no matter the struggle. I would like to know if anyone would like their lives changed if they had the power to changed their past. My life got better as years went by because I made an effort to change my energy and not live my life thinking of my life as a victim rather one who needs the experience as I chose this life before birth.

I would change virtually everything. Except of course my gender. I can't imagine being a girl and baking cookies all day or installing lace and curtains all over the place. Other then that it would be a complete reboot with new different operating system.
I'd do it now but I seem to be running out of energy. Me and poochie today are going on a short field trip. Mostly just to observe. I never get tired of seeing things. But everything changes - it doesn't make any sense - the memories are made instantly and endlessly but for no reason. I chase after them but they are as elusive as the rainbow. And painful to recall.
That's the only good thing I can say about baking cookies. The perfect cookie is a joy to recall. It just seems odd I had to destroy it to experience it. Contrasted with the one hundred year old fruitcake carefully preserved that no one ever actually ever tasted. Because of that you never really knew if it was fit to eat or not.
There might be a metaphor there. But I'd best not dwell on it. The present is incomprehensible enough as it is without speculating what it would be if things had been different in the past. I sure wouldn't have minded though , if everything had been different ...........
Eat your doggie biscuit , Starrett. Don't bite anybody, Starrett. I love you, Starrett. Even if you smell and growl and shed tons of hair all over my new car I am still glad I adopted you, Starrett. Even though you are not a dalmatian or Weimerwanner or Visla or Black Lab I still love you , Starrett. That I will never change!

Good for you Deena, you fought the good fight and won it seems. Not like many today who quiver and complain over the tiniest of things because their life is not going the way they want it; or by saying that their life is a complete failure without ever trying to change things for the better, or attempting to look closer as to why their life is the way it is.
I too struggled in my earlier life and had many hardships where at times did affect me terribly. But if it wasn't for these hardships I wouldn't be where I am today.
"NO" ... I wouldn't change a thing either, all that occurred throughout my life I believe was a blessing. It made me stronger, wiser, more loving and more aware. Thank you!

Dear Deena, Welcome to the forum. I love your honesty and attitude to life. There was once a time when if given the chance I would have probably tried to change things about my past. This was connected to guilt and remorse for the affects and consequences my actions had upon others. That is the hard part about regrets, not so much about how it affected us but how it affects those we love. But I like you have now come to understand and believe that everything in life that happens to us has a purpose. Hard though it is to cope with at the time, life's challenges and adversity are great teachers. I would not be the person I am today if I had not experienced them. I have learned so much about myself in the process, and I like to think it has made me a more thoughtful and aware as a human being. Our life is what shapes and moulds us. How can we regret something that teaches us to be less selfish and reckless. How can we regret the very things that make us appreciate just how precious life is and the value of what is truly important. Someone once wrote that the lines that appear upon our face as we age, are a map of our lives. They show we have laughed, loved, cried and known pain and suffering. They show we have lived a life! I have learned that life is a precious gift and to have regrets is to have wasted the life we have been given. The only mistake is not to learn from the lessons we were given and not go on and try to do better. Thank you so much for sharing your words, I look forward to reading more of them. Love and light Kaz

Dear Deena, Welcome and what a positive and inspiring person you are I am a firm believer in the saying 'What does not break you makes you stronger'. Looking back over my life would I change any part of it?...I would have to say No...but in saying that, it’s often easier to look back on an event or situation with hindsight and with a knowledge we didn’t have at the time. I have been taught and learned some valuable as well as some very hard lessons throughout my life and I prefer just to get on with it and to try and turn a positive out of a negative, not always easy but its how I manage psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I believe that from the moment we are born we are being shaped and sculpted into the person we are, and that process continues throughout our entire life. Judge people less and to forgive more, this has been one of the hardest lessons and I am often tested on it, and I accept it’s a work in progress and one I have not mastered but am learning. I am fortunate to come from a very loving family who instilled a great sense of love and gratitude into me, which has also guided and helped me through my life. Life is not easy by any means and I often wonder and question why things happen but I think the biggest thing is acceptance. I am very grateful for all I have and for the skills I have achieved to get me through. I think one the the greatest comforts for me in times of trial or tribulation is the knowing that we are never alone, ever, and as hard as it is....I still love life. Thank you for joining the forum and for sharing Love and Light Cyberangel

Hi Deena,
I so admire your fortitude! I remember reading once that a person who looks back at their life and regrets nothing, has learnt nothing..... I think that if I did live my life over I would do things differently, but just for the sheer joy of knowing what a lovely difference it would make to other people - and not to avoid any of my own pain - my suffering along the way has been so vital to my growing as a person, and finding my way back to God .... that I would personally go through all of that again, in a heartbeat. Wrenny xx
