If You Had Told Me 10 Years Ago…

Posted on June 24, 2013 Written by Tonya

If you had told me 10 years ago that…

I wouldn’t have a full time job, but would be getting paid to write,

both my parents would be dead and it would take me the better part of five years to sell their house,

I’d be the mother to a four year old,

I’d be battling secondary infertility and sharing my story in my own column,

I would consider going to the grocery store alone a mini vacation,

my family would be living in an apartment,

we’d own a dog,

my sister would live less than an hour away,

I’d be walking on average 600 miles a year (usually with the dog),

I’d be playing more games of Words With Friends than reading,

my closest friends would (thank God) remain the same,

and I’d be blogging,

I would have grabbed the closest chair or wall to steady myself and then told you were absolutely nuts!

It’s true, my life has been a combination of crazy, wonderful, sad and magical. I have experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows over the last 10 years and in all honesty, I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Do you live with regrets?

    No, I have no regrets either. I think my life is as it should be. 🙂

    No regrets, life may not be exactly what I had imagined but it’s no less wonderful.

    I have small regrets, like I shouldn’t have said this or shouldn’t have done that little thing, but overall, no big regrets. Life has turned out the way it was supposed to, and I know that every time I look at this perfect little boy of mine. 🙂

    I don’t really have regrets, but i do often fantasize about living a different life. I could totally see living in an apartment next to you. You have a pool, right?

    I’m hoping in 10 years my life looks 180 degrees different.. I’m enjoying it now and am excited for changes that I’m hoping to see Into fruition.

    10 years ago… That was a rough year for me. I’m not sure what I would have thought.

    Ten years ago … hm. I was 33 and just about to get pregnant for the first time. But I would have been glad to know that things were looking up (after the rough couple of years I had just had).

    I know I would have laughed in someone’s face if they said I would be living where I live right now! But no, no regrets…

    I love this! 🙂

    There’s definitely some things that I wish that I change about the last 10 years but thankfully, I am learning to accept those things are learn from them and somehow, move past them.

    It’s funny that you posted this (even though it’s taken me this long to get to it!) because 10 years ago I had gotten dumped, had no job or boyfriend and had no idea what was going to happen to me. And now here I am! NO REGRETS!

    What’s up to all, how is all, I think every one is getting more from this website, and your views are fastidious in support of new people.
