"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it have been?" This is week three of Debby's Dare. An innocent enough question, until you really start to think about it. I've actually lost sleep because of this seemingly simple query. For I've read entirely too much sci fi to be able to ignore the problems that may arise if you'd be able to change history. And then the question arises, would I really want to change it. Initially, I'd want to answer "if I had been less insecure, more confident - maybe I would have made better choices and ended up in a happier marriage." Yet, when I follow that thought through to it's logical conclusion, I realize that I then wouldn't have the sons that I have - and that's just not acceptable. It makes me ponder that perhaps it's true that things happen for a reason. Maybe this is where I'm suppose to be, right here, right now....so why is that so hard to accept?
