That’s exactly it, oddFrog. Even if you don’t do it brilliantly, do it anyway!!!! I don’t want to be sitting in the (probably crappy ‘cuz my kids will pick it) nursing home thinking “I wonder what would have happened if I would have just…”

Wonderful post, one I really connect with. I love to travel and have somehow managed to do lots of it. More recently, I’ve focused on something else I’ve always wanted to do and that is start a business. While it’s not financially successful yet, it’s there. I actually did it! And, even with time constraints, I continue to work it every day. And I’m learning more each day. And I love it.

I’m with you, Heather. If there’s something you want to do, follow your heart and do it. No matter if you don’t do it brilliantly, do it anyway!

Yup, I worked for Howard Hanna for a little more than four years. And Hop – if you ever need a kick in the ass to get goin’, I’m the girl for the job. Off topic – guess what I saw is playing this weekend at Stage 62? Little Shop of Horrors. Talk about shoulda, coulda, woulda….

Heat, awesome post. I’m learning that very lesson now…I’ve put too much of myself away on a shelf to care for others. After my grandmother passed away a few weeks back at the ripe old age of 92, I realized that I had really lost a huge part of what was really me, what mattered to me, what I wanted from life. And meeting back up with you all has shown me how far off-track I’ve gotten. Thanks!!! I am looking towards the future more now than ever and getting myself back where I wanted to be. No more “I wish I wouldas” for me… except for that skydiving thing. Nope, still can’t work up the ballz…

Maybe I’ll tell you about my latest roadblock and you can pester me through it, too .

You used to sell real estate? We may need some pointers from you soon:) Now, if only you owned an electronics store . . .

Barb – that must be why I like you, too! Life is too boring if you don’t take a risk now and again.

Excellent post. I don’t look back and regret; the path I took was the path I took, and it’s made me the person I am today. I’m all about the risk-taking, anyway. I’ve done lots of things that don’t seem to make sense to other people, but were personally fulfilling to me. Glad to hear you;re the same way. I’m also a big fan of the ‘get off your ass and do it then’ kinda people. Must be why I like you.
