How much of your life would you change?

Nothing from the past because changing one thing from the past may put me on a different track and I wouldn't have experienced all the blessings in my life. This to include a wonderful daughter, 2 wonderful granddaughters, many friends through life and some wonderful loving pets. The future I would change would be financial, not so much for me but so that I could provide a more fulfilled life for all that are in my life now and all I would like to help now.

I'm happy with my life but there are a heap of things I would like to change, going back to when I was 7 years old. It's not healthy for me to think about how my life would be if I didn't make a big mistake at such a young age. To tell you the truth if I could go back and change it I would probably do the exact same things that I did back then and it would prove that those mistakes were made even though I was doing my best. Or at least thats what I tell myself in order to be able to live with myself.

The problem with looking back and wondering "What would be different now?" is that, in looking back, we make connections between ourselves then and our lives now. And we realize that certain things would never have happened if we hadn't made some choices back then.
Sure, we may regret choices, "rue the day" we made them, and so on. Yet would we want to trade all that we've had since then? (And after all, time spent on regret is wasted time...you can't go back, you can't change the past...so don't waste your time on it.)
If I had met and married someone else, I'd have different children (assuming I had any at all)...and my present children would not exist: Four of them and my seven grandchildren. Would I want a different past, if it meant my kids wouldn't be here? I think not!!!
Life is like that...so easy to second-guess once things are past and gone, so hard to live in the present, and so uncertain as we try to live forward into the future.

Maybe 20-30% of it, overall I guess it's been pretty good to me, at least I've lived longer than I ever though I would of at this point. I've lived longer than anyone except my grandparents have so far. Parents, brothers and sisters have all passed and I'm the oldest.
