I came home late last night and caught the end of a Johnny Cash tribute programme, when he sang the song "Hurt" for some reason it reminded me of a question I was once asked:
If you could live your life all over again, no changes, exactly as it has been, would you?
I know what my answer was but I am interested in what others might say.

Wendy

Hello Wendy,

My answer : no. What would be the interest?

In Living instead of dying soon, more lessons to be learned.

Interesting question!

No changes made I would be bored like h... during my schooldays, starting with one plus one....., no that does not sound attractive

But teenage years listening to Leonard Cohen, Jimi Hendrix, Pinkfloyd, Jefferson Airplane, Emerson - Lake and Palmer, kissing lots of young men, smoking pot and thinking that life will be like this for ever! hmmm, could be worth while trying that again

Motherhood, oh yes - even if I know what I'd get - anytime that I would experience that again

Now only my husband and me left in the house, this I would like to be doing for a long, long time - right until oldage and tired of living lets me fade out of here!

No, been there done it - I would rather want to try something new if there is a chance, no matter how fortunated I have been.

P.s.: If your life was a movie - would you go to see it? (bring popcorn and candy)

Most people I have asked this question of immediately say yes until I remind them that they can't make changes, then they usually say no
I suppose it's swings and roundabouts really.

cia If my life was a movie I suppose it would have to be a comedy, my husband once remarked that if I was an actress I could never be another Sharon Stone or Brigit Bardot I am much more in the mould of Bette Midler!!

Wendy

I would take that as a hugh compliment Wendy

And a good book and a flashlight, or an interesting friend to chat with (or whatever), or.. why not, the lap top but please let the life goes on. And on.
