Regrets

Today's 30 in 30 is suppose to be about regrets, but I don't believe in regrets.  Every decision I've made, every road I've taken has molded me into the person I am today so why would I want to do over anything?  I think my life's pretty good...I've got to amazing kids that light up my life and a wonderful husband who is my best friend, my soul mate. 

Some readers may wonder why I don't say I regret going to law school...but I DON'T.  If I hadn't gone to law school, I would have always wondered if I gave up on my dream job and I would not have been in a position to meet DH.  I believe it was in our destiny to meet each other...we both got accepted to Furman University and considered going there...we both considered going to law school at Wake Forest University, but ultimately, we ended up in the middle of Georgia sitting across from one another at a local Mexican restaurant playing trivia.  So, no, I don't regret going to law school.

I think it's a waste of time to have regrets...if there is something you wish you had done, try and find a way to do it.  I am passionate about cooking and I wish I had gone to culinary school.  Right now, that's not an option...two small kids and all.  And I'm not sure that I would want to be a chef or anything like that...maybe down the road I'll explore it more.  But right now, I'm turning that passion into a little adventure for my family.  I'm taking all of the recipes that I've collected over the years and I'm actually making them.  DH is having a blast testing all the different recipes and I'm exercising a passion of mine that got pushed aside while I was practicing law.

So that's it...my past lead me to my present and I wouldn't change a thing!!
