It’s Thursday – time for another one of Mama Kat’s writing prompts.
Today she asks “What would you change about your life if you could?”
Generally I am a thankful soul – and while I would love to own that sprawling manse on my exclusive private island – I would not necessarily change anything in my life to make that happen.
In fact, while there are many “nice to have” things out there – I really have everything that I want and need. A loving husband, a happy and healthy family.
What would I really change?
To be honest – there really is only one thing that I wish I had done differently. Hindsight is always 20/20 right?
Looking back – way back – to my college days, I would have liked to have the foresight to pick a career that would blend well with raising a family. Something that would have created a good foundation for a home based business. I always knew that I wanted to stay home and raise my kids. But I never realized how much I would miss having a career as well.
Perhaps having four kids postponed my planned career a little longer than expected.
And who knew the web would make internet business so achievable?
If I could do things differently I would have started a business early on, when my first child was just a baby.
Oh well, if making up for lost time is the only change I would make – then I guess I am doing pretty well.

Raising children is one of the most beautiful and fulfilling things a woman can do with her life. I also wish I knew internet business was so achievable long before I discovered it. I find it more rewarding than the classic career path in which we trade our time and soul for money. Besides, the beauty of internet is that one is never too old or too young to start a business. It’s just great.

I chose the same prompt – and like you, although there are always things we might ‘desire’, in general, I wouldn’t really want to change my life.
Enjoyed your post.
Great post! Hindsight is most definitely 20/20– makes me think of some Toby Keith lyrics: “I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then”… but a bit different context, haha– and different kind of hindsight!
