You know the question that is always asked: If you could go back and do your life over, what would you do differently?
Yawn.

“Time is the fire in which we burn…” ~Malcolm McDowell’s character, Soran, in Star Trek VII.
Instead, TKZers, let’s answer this question:
If I could travel back in time, what would I do exactly the same?
(Way less to choose from put this way, eh?) 🙂
Me? Leave LA and return to the PNW!
Easy, I’d ask that beautiful young woman I met at work out on a date back in October 1978. We’ve now been married for 44 1/2 years.
Ditto, Dale. July 26th, 1980, I was sitting with a couple of buddies in the courtyard of an apartment building where my best friend was having a birthday party upstairs. A beautiful girl seemed to appear out of nowhere and ran up the stairs. I told my friends, “I’ll see you later,” and followed her up. 2 1/2 weeks later I asked her to marry me. April 11, 1981, it happened.
Wow, Jim!
Y’all beat us as far as the time frame. We met in November 1987 and married in January 1988. I thought that was quick…
Love these stories!
Have a great weekend, my friend.
Me too. I’d marry the same guy I married 56 years ago.
💖💖💖
Ahh…Dale, how sweet!
Have a great day…
Thanks, Deb. We took three plus years to get married because I was 17 and she was 15 when we started dating. We married on her 19th birthday 🙂
Even sweeter…!
🥰
Easy. In May of 1997 I’d pack up my meager belongings and my awesome black lab in my little Honda and move to Arizona where I get the absolute joy of being surrounded by mountains, beautiful blue skies and fluffy white clouds every day. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than ho-hum Maryland.
There is literally not a day that I don’t give thanks for getting to live surrounded by mountains (AND in a climate that doesn’t make it come with six feet of snow!) 😎
Good morning, Brenda…
Sounds delightful, almost like what I’m surrounded with every day. Just throw in a few orchards surrounding us and that snow on the ground–which I love.
We have a great view of Mt. Adams from our yard…AND there’s a spot in our downtown area where you can see Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier at the same time. That’s really cool.
Have a good day!
For sure the month I spent in Israel in 1979. I traveled from Sharm El-Sheikh in the south, all of the Negev, Mt. Siani, Judea and Sumeria, along the Jordan River, Galilee (for sure still dancing with a soldier at a disco on the shores of Galilee), The Syrian and Lebanese borders, Jerusalem, the Mediterranean coast, Gaza.
I would still ask the girl down the block out. It didn’t last but she was beautiful and fun to be with.
Hi Alan!
Maybe someday I’ll take a trip like that, if I can pry myself away from the most beautiful place in this beautiful country. (Not much of a traveler am I…)
Thanks for dropping by!
I would marry my wonderful husband of almost 40 years, adopt our lovely daughter from Russia, have our amazing sons, and write my first novel. 🙂
And raft the Grand Canyon.
👍👍👍
Good morning, Michelle.
39 years in January for us, and I’d do it all over again, too. (And my three wonderful children…)
Thanks for stopping by this morning!
Thanks for asking the question. It’s good to remember things like that.
Indeedy…😉
Changing anything would change everything. The good, the bad and the ugly, things I proud of and those I am ashamed of all brought me to today. I would want to be nowhere else.
Hi Marshall…
Words of wisdom for sure & certain!
Have an awesome weekend!
Fifty-five years for Don and me, and I’d marry him again.
Hi Elaine…
Love these sweetheart stories!
💖
Thank you for checking in with us today, and hope you have a great weekend.
Just passed 53 years and she hasn’t killed me yet. A couple of her glances should have but…
🤣🤣🤣
Like Alan P, I would go to Israel again in a heartbeat! It was a life-changing trip.
Hi Patricia…
That does it! I gotta go to Israel someday.
Thanks for stopping by!
