[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the best advice I have ever heard on this topic.

That was a wonderful read, PP. Thanks for sharing it. It resonates so profoundly within me for reasons that have nothing to do with my children. What if I'd stayed in that country and made it my home? What if I'd gone to that different school? What if I had stuck with my gut and never went on the first date with the man who would become my XH? What if I'd stayed with him and built that life with him? What if I'd grown out my hair in junior high? Silly things. Hard choices I've made. Some felt like mistakes, others like fate.

DCUM, take a look at the suggested reading and the poem it's built around. It's great at midlife, but I plan on sharing it with my teens when every choice seems to narrow their life experiences and there are so many options available to them.

FWIW, doing something out of fear...it's not the way to go.
