Youy might rethink that Susan, lawyers work all the time. My brother is a lawyer, so is my husband. My husband quit practicing law to have a more meaningful life with The Boys & Girls Club. He's much happier.
I would have gotten a Business degree, instead of Psychology. I had to learn about business the hard way.

i would've applied myself more in school and taken advantage of the opportunities that it could've afforded me.

Made lots of mistakes:
But if I were able to take one back-I would not have had my third surgery when I was 15...
It lead to nine straight months of leg spasams and no one could tell us why..Those nine months happened to be most of my Jr. year of HS so my grades sliped and that impacted which colleges I could get into
I finaly got correctly diagnosed and the spasams under control..
But I never re-gained any of the enintal gains of the surgery and I have always wonderd how stuff might have been different.
Life goes on-right..

Would have waited another 6 months or a yr to get married in order to have given Kirk's young daughters more time to "adjust" to the situation.
And possibly a couple of employment opportunities that seemed too risky at the time, but in retropect likely would have been more satisfying personally, instead of taking the "security" route.

I would have listened to my brain telling me it was stupid, too cold, snowy, and not really having a destination on Feb 6, 1970. But no, I went out anyway looking for adventue. I finally grasped the extent of that mis-step a month later.
I had previously begun to get real about the importance of school. I'm always late. That decision only came when taking older sis to college the previous Sept. dash

I would have and may still pursue my art. Throw caution to the wind and paint emotionally rather then decoratively. Not care about what might sell but what I would like to express.

LOL, thanks, Joe. I appreciate color, nature, figures so i like most of the works you linked.
I've always been so,,? self conscious, insecure...?
I just want to cut LOOSE and paint my introspections, trials and tribulations.
I have a new table, new brushes, new paints, canvases,,,,,,i just need the motivation. I've been in a rut too long.
Someone to kick my ass?

Lorrie, if you can paint your introspections right now, when a lot seems to be happening all at once with you, it might be really interesting to look back at them in a few years.
I'm so unartistically natured, it amazes me when people just produce something from within.
