i consider all the angles. i analyze and reanalyze many times before i come to the decision or conclusion. sometimes i do this during plain-old-mind-wandering time.....i fantasize that life could be like a "choose your own adventure" book (remember those?).
some things that may have happened if i'd chosen an alternate page:
-if i hadn't finally learned to guard my heart, i might actually know my dad and either like him or hate him, instead of just being indifferent when we talk.
-had i gone to valpo u. as hoped, i could be living as a near-old maid in northwestern IN/chicagoland area.
-were i able to capture marty turner's heart as i'd so in wanted in jr. high, we would both be completely miserable right now. doc's and nurse's schedules don't gel well.
-if sally hadn't suggested doggy treats, i may never have learned that not all men betray, and that some of the really special ones are loyal even to the bitterest of ends, and that i deserve that sort of loyalty.
- had i dated dan: 1)i wouldn't love him this much 2) would've learned how to cook by now b/c he wouldn't have stood for it this long!
-if i hadn't worked radio while going thru nursing school i would be very narrow and only know about one industry.
-had adam and i gone to walmart instead of meijer for the christmas shopping, i may not have reconnected with suzels and the bethie!
-had i just been a stubborn teen and not responded to mom's letters we may not be such great friends now.
-if heather and i had chosen taco bell instead of powers, my husband may never have noticed me.
see? that's fun! what are a couple of your favorite "what-if's" or alternate endings?
