If Only

At the ripe ol' age of 62 I have begun thinking about the things I always wished but never quite had the ability to bring to fruition.  So, in no particular order, I wish . . .


  • I could sing with a rock band to a sold-out stadium (and be good).
  • I could play my piano well enough to feel encouraged to continue playing.
  • I had a good sense of rhythm (see above).
  • I didn't always have to fight with myself about my weight.
  • My feet weren't so big or ugly.
  • My hair had natural body (anything but this straight, limp mess).
  • I could be famous for something good.
  • I was more generous, loving, and caring instead of being so selfish.
  • I could play the drums like Phil Collins.
  • I laughed more.
  • I would have spent more time with my mother. 
  • I never injured my shoulders.
  • I learned to swim before I became so afraid of water.
  • I lived someplace with a great view of an ocean, forest, and mountain (at the same time).
  • My near vision was good enough to not require reading glasses.
  • My dogs would live as long as me and we'd all be in great health.
  • I hadn't already lived the majority of my life (yet I don't really want to be much younger).
  • I would have graduated college early enough to make law school a possibility.
  • I was a better friend.
  • I didn't cry over TV commercials.
I'm sure there are other things but this is what popped out of my head.  Some of these things can still happen (although realistically probably won't).

  3. Some of those thing are also on my list. I think while self-reflection is important, celebrating what we love and have achieved is also important. Hugs.
