    I wish I hadn't been such a doormat with my first husband, I wish I had finished college, I wish I hadn't married my second husband so soon, I wish I had started riding bikes and doing triathlons when I was 20 years younger, I wish, I wish, I wish.........The road I've traveled has been pretty bumpy but it's brought me right where I am today and that's a good place. I'm happy and content and you can't ask for more than that.

    There are some days that I wish I had the body I had when I was 23 with the knowledge I have at 53. Boy, would I have some fun!

    The only things I would change, would be the things that are impossible to change: the mine wouldn't have collapsed on my brother. But it did and it has shaped my entire life. It has not destroyed it, it did cut off some options, at the same time it helped me face the reality of life and death. That lead me to change some of my priorities away from achievement to focus more on relationships. On the other hand, if I could have my brother back, I could deal with being a more shallow person.

    I don't about you, but when my sister was alive, it feels like the whole time period was a dream...not so long ago.

    But even now, it feels almost dream-like because the people left and who still love one another.

    It is a long ride that once taking a road, I can ride back, but things look different in an opposite direction than arriving.
