All my Trials and Tribulations have helped define who I am. To remove or Change any of them might alter who I am. I try not to dwell on the past, except remembering the good times, live in the present and look forward to the future.

1. Dropping out of college to join the Army, my reason doesn't justify quitting school.
2. I didn't have the courage to ask a woman out. Years later she told me she had a crush on me and was hurt that I didn't.
3. When you get angry about something, before you react, ask yourself will it matter in five years.
4. When I think of all the good advice I didn't take, I'm sure none would have mattered.

Ha.

Biggest regret - Buying too much stuff -clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry that I never wear.
Worst mistake - refinancing my mortgage so much.
Biggest influenced idea: Chemotherapy-didn't want to do it-pushed into it-I'm alive because of it.
Wish I had: Saved insurance settlement money but govt would have taken it anyways for Medicaid.
