Life's To Do List...
Okay, okay, I totally lifted this from Lissa’s blog, who lifted it from Abby’s blog who lifted it from Beth's blog. But I thought it was interesting and thought provoking and my answers caused me to think about where I've been and what I've done in my life. All as opposed to what I had wanted to accomplish and what I'd LIKE to do in my life.
All in all, I wouldn't change a thing. I have loved large and hard and I've been loved. I have known great sorrow with the loss of my grandparents. I've known the amazing opportunity to be a friend and have a friend. I have the blessing of a wonderful family of not just relatives by blood but a family of friends that spans the world.
