Things I don't regret!

     In my first Half Century of living I have some things that I don't regret (love those things)! I don't regret sticking up for my little sister while we were little kids, like when my friends would say, "tell her your mom is calling for her" and I wouldn't do it. Stuff like that. I am glad I wasn't purposely mean. Maybe she would tell you otherwise. I don't regret changing my major from Commercial Art to Communicative Disorders (mostly because I wanted art to be a joyful, not stressful, part of my life). I don't regret getting a college degree. I don't regret Marrying my wonderful husband of 28 1/2 years. I don't regret having my four astonishing children! I don't regret choosing to stay at home raising my children even though it meant many many very lean years.... I don't regret staying up late and squeezing every minute out of the day (even though it meant hardly ever enough sleep). I don't regret making time for family and friends. I choose to focus on the things I absolutely do not regret and not give much thought, other than learning from them, to my regrets.
     I read something from the editor of a magazine I really like (check out "More" for women of style and substance  www.more.com ),
