What if you were given a "do over"

[feywon]

I have so many questions. How do you deal with the fact that you are no longer the person you thought you were? not to say you don't try, just that you can't do the things that you use to do.

There are very few things I want to do that i absolutely cannot do at all. Most of of my limits are physical and it's a matter of stamina, endurance being more limited than in my youth.

My brain still functions well, i still write poetry and take pictures, i can still smile at others when out and about perform small curtesies and kindnesses.

My understanding at this point in life is that you can change circumstances but if you don't even think about changing yourself, the results are going to be the same.

I started working on myself back in my.teens. At the time i thought some of my goals were impossible dreams. Too much childhood baggage to unpack, bad.habits to break. But now & then every few years a single event or series of them would make clear that however slowly, i was moving mentally/emotionally toward being who i wanted be.

Don't feel 'done', there's always knew things to learn.

I'd only do it if I could know what I know now. Otherwise? Geez. I'm tired. I don't wanna do anything over.

I wish I was a little rock
A sittin' on a hill
Doin' nothin' all day
But just, but just, a sittin' still
I wouldn't eat
I wouldn't sleep
I wouldn't even wash
I'd just sit still a thousand years
And rest myself b'gosh

Well I was given a do-over by HIM exactly 41yrs ago this week,
when I found him, (he wasn't lost) and quit drinking.
