Not Yet Recalled

Like my father before me, our legal names are the same...

Like my father before me, I have a strong Christian faith...

Like my father before me, I served my country in the military...

Like my father before me, I've been frugal with my money...

Like my father before me, I like physical work...

Like my father before me, I retired as soon as I was fully eligible...

Like my father before me, I am dealing with a blood disease that could take my life...

UNLIKE MY FATHER BEFORE ME, I

• rebel against the rules
• am not diplomatic at work
• have changed employers several times
• am a conservative liberal
• am a writer of poetry
• divorced and remarried
• am not as financially stable

If I could live my life over again...  and, that is a big IF...  would I change anything?

My answer has always been a resounding NO.

For example:

1. Should I have continued with my music lessons?  YES
2. Should I have been more diligent with my high school studies?  Maybe
3. Should I have waited to get married the first time?  NO
4. Do I regret dropping out of college?  NO
5. Do I regret enlisting in the military?  NO
6. Do I regret getting a divorce?  NO
7. Do I regret getting remarried?  NO
8. Do I regret changing jobs so many times? NO
9. Do I regret getting fired so often?  NO
10. Do I regret my education?  NO

What is interesting here is the fact that ended up exactly where I was intended to end up in my life...  otherwise, I would not be here...  I would be somewhere else but I am not...  so, what's the point of thinking what else you could have or should have done?

Outside of my declining health, I have everything that I need or want at my age.  

I don't need more money.  

I don't need a bigger house.  

I don't need a better car.  

I don't need more clothes.

I don't need more computers.

I don't need more hair.  

I don't need more talent.  

I don't need more friends.  

I don't need more interests. 

I don't need more faith.  

I don't need more time.
