I have pondered this question many times. Are there things I would have done differently with the perspective and wisdom of time? Certainly! Would I go back and change anything - no, because every time I think of something that I might cahnge, I realize that that change would have altered everything that has happened since. For example, I have lamented leaving a regional manager position I had, necessitating a move. I loved the job, loved where we lived and had great relationships, but some economic conditions that affected the potential of my success there were negative and not getting better. I made a quick decision, and took another opportunity with the same company in a city 250 miles away. The first month in our new home our youngest son met a girl, who six years later became his wife and has given us beautiful twin grandsons that turn four in January. Had we not moved that love affair would never have happened and our son and our entire family would be poorer for it. Every decision, every move, every action affects everything down the road so, being happy where I and my family are today, I would change nothing. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a great new year to you all.
