A friend of mine (not yet 25) asked me what I would change in my life.
I said nothing. Not a thing. Nope.
Then, I thought about it. When I was in my 20s I thought I could do anything. Go anywhere, move to Alaska, Vermont, or Phoukeppsie. I could become CEO, Executive Director or Surgeon at the ripe old age of 28.
Now, I see that what I have I should not only enjoy but relish.
Things I would change in my life:
My mother-in-law would have enough money to move in to a Jewish retirement facility.
My kid wouldn't feel like his friend gave up on him.
Lasagna and chocolate chip cookie dough could be on my diet.
More women would be in high office in corporations and politics.
Teachers would make more than salesmen.
Pencil skirts and skinny jeans would be out of fashion forever.
I would make time to make a new friend.

Poor kid. What happened?
I totally agree about the pencil skirts and skinny jeans.
And, no one tells you, but the hardest thing about being a parent is seeing other kids hurt your kids, and not being allowed to scream at said other kid. Though I give you permission to yell at the other kid.
Maybe hot chocolate and pancakes cures all?
For somebody who wouldn't change anything, you're sure changing a lot.
My point being....update. Tell us more about the big switch.
