Laura 70/365
Scenic viewpoint in Edmonds, Washington.
It seems so odd knowing that my son's father and I sat on that very same
spot eating ice cream over 17 years ago.
Life sure takes us on some wild twists and turns doesn't it? If I knew then
what I know now...

You wouldn't have listened to the older you, you know?
We have to make our path by walking, it is the only way.
Very profound, Dawn!! And a lovely picture Laura.
I was mulling it over after I sent in my picture, and the crazy thing that came to me was the realization that the "mistakes" I would change about my life (if I knew what I know now) are far more recent. The supposed "mistakes" of my youth I wouldn't really change at all. That realization startled me. Huh
I like what you said too Dawn. I also agree. And thanks for the photo compliment Bridget.
I think about these things alot too Laura when I look at the different forks in my life...
But you can only see them afterwards.
and Teen/Young Adult Dawn? Oh, dear me. She was SURE she knew all sorts of things and often kicked down doors to prove what she knew - It was good to be so brave!
Me again...and I'm still thinking about it...
I guess what I really wish I could do is tell teenage/young adult Laura not to worry so much and that it all turns out ok. I wish I knew then what I know now, not so much to change things, but just to have the peace of mind that things weren't as bad as they seemed. Then when I got to my early 30s there are some things I would for sure change...LOL! Oh ok, I just haven't had enough patience to see where these particular forks are taking me yet. Some place good I hope.
It's so funny to stand on that same spot now and think of all the things that have happened since I ate that ice cream all those years ago. For the most part I like the twists and turns on the path of life. You usually wind up some place good eventually, even if you do have to visit Crapville and What The Hell Was I Thinking Junction every now and again.
Oh, I do love moments like that, that take me out of my 'now' & let me see the bigger picture of my whole life.
I believe that everything happens for a reason, even though we may never become aware of the reason. Even though I've made my share of mistakes (some of which were HUGE), they got me to where I am now, and I have few regrets. Great picture!
