Blog Challenge - regrets......

From Sara: "Tell me about your biggest regret in life - what's the one thing you always wanted to do, but somehow you managed to miss the boat?"

You don't get to your 40s without some regrets, but lets talk biggest. There is one thing that would have changed my whole life around, and although I regret, I am not sorry about the way things turned out after all.

That regret is not going to college right out of high school. I was clueless about how to make this happen for myself, and too lazy to figure it out. I didn't have guidance in the practical matters of how to make it happen. The sad part is I was in a gifted class in high school (the first one that existed at my high school) and I was a Kansas State Scholar based on test scores that would have paid quite a bit towards school. Should I throw blame around? Should I keep harping about it? Sometimes I do both, throw blame and rehash. Then I think, good grief, it was flippin' 20+ years back, get OVER it already. Things are pretty darn good right now, and if I was some architect or robotics engineer, I would be a different person today. Probably an old lonely lady living with 14 cats.....and a fish.
