Granted there are no do-overs in this life. However, do you ever wonder what would happen if you had made a different choice in any aspect of your life? I recently read a book that covered this topic. It was a work of fiction of course but it still gets you thinking.
The character in the book wondered what would happen if she chose to be with her ex-boyfriend instead of her current husband. In a bizarre twist of fate, she was able to go back in time and the steps she took, using hindsight, eventually brought her back to a similar but not altogether different new reality.
Do you believe in 2nd chances? Is there someone you wish you had given a 2nd chance or a chance at all? Is there anything you'd like to go back and redo? What would you like to change about your past? What impact would it have on your current life?

Holidays & Times Past
Well the holidays are upon us. Time to trim the tree, trim the house, shop for friends and family, enjoy parties and all that the holiday brings. For me, it's also time to reflect on years past.
It's nice to find old friends and remember times past. It's nice to bring back memories of a time in our lives when things weren't so hectic with kids and work. When we could pick up and go just because we could without worrying about finding baby sitters or rearranging schedules. I sometimes miss those easy going days of old and I definitely miss the friends that I don't get to see much anymore. I am thankful in every way for the internet and the ability to talk to friends who have now moved too far away to go and hang out with. :) This year has brought us back together with MANY old friends that I am so happy to be a part of their lives again...regardless of where they live.
This time of year makes me thankful for these old friends and of course all my new friends too. New friends who are there for you no matter what is going on in our life and love you just because you are you. New friends to be silly and laugh with even if we don't get to do it nearly as often as we should. I am also thankful for my family and the time I get to spend with them doing all the seasonable activities. It's fun to watch the kid's eyes light up with the magic and splendor of the season. To see them get excited about seeing Christmas lights go up on our house and the neighbor's home too. To hear them wish for everything under the sun for Christmas knowing full well they won't get everything but it's fun to WISH!
What do you wish for this holiday season?
