Wouldn't Change A Thing

---

A friend of mine…

Made a comment…said the clock was ticking, so she’s going to take a trip…a fun trip…a fun exciting trip with those beautiful daughters of hers..

Prickly phrase that, the clock is ticking…because it is…faster today than yesterday…than last week…last month…last year…

The time ahead much less than that behind…an old gal finds herself looking back…basking in the memories…marveling at the journey…

And pondering…wondering…if she could go back and do it again, would she?…and if she did, what would she change?…

Would she attend grad school in Texas to study opera as encouraged by her vocal instructor?…date the actuary?…say yes to the proposals?…marry her dear friend?…take a teaching job in a different town?…

So many different paths…so many unknown endings…but the choices young me made…not always the best…not always without pain…took her down a path that gave her the one thing she would never give up…

Those daughters of hers…

THEY are her happy ending…because of them she knows the choices were right…because of them she knows she’s where she’s supposed to be…because of them…she wouldn’t change a thing…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
