    I lived the hand I was dealt and so have no regrets - very well educated and a great career. Just a sadness that I wish my husband had lived more than the three-and-a-half months we were married (I've been widowed 49 years).

    I would have finished my college education instead of blowing it off when I met my DH. He did not support my goals. And I shouldn't have married him. Ah, love is so blind.

    I don't think there is anything I would do over. Every time period in my life I have enjoyed what I have been doing and who I was with. For me no redo.

    I definitely would NOT have trusted people as much - most people I trust have let me down.

    I married at an early age and had 5 children. Love my hubby{40 yrs.} love my family. Wouldn't change that. It doesn't help to dwell on the what ifs, just get on with life and make the best of what you have left.

    I would have taken chemistry in high school. It would have enabled me to major in science in college - probably physics - and who knows what that would have led to? I'm NOT unhappy with my life, but I know I would have enjoyed being a scientist.

    I so agree with you leatheflea. The one "small" thing I would do over is to never have smoked (quit 13 years ago).
