I Wish I’d Done …..
Now this isn’t going to be quite as macabre as it may seem at first glance so please bear with me for a while.
At some time in the future you are lying on your death bed and your thoughts turn to your past life and you think – I wish I had done ………
What would be your answer?
Mine would have to be “I wish I could have learned to play the piano like “Fats” Waller.
It’s probably too late for me to learn now but you younger people don’t let your dream slip by you. Make an effort so that when the time comes instead of thinking “I wish I had done ………” you can remember that you did.

Re: I Wish I’d Done …..
I think mine will be 'i wish i had had done more before i had my child' dont get me wrong my life is now complete now i have jack, but until you have a child i don't believe anyone can understand how much it stops you from doing-or maybe it was just my naivity??People told me it would be a shock and i tried to prepare myself but hey-it still wasn't enough.

Re: I Wish I’d Done …..
don't want to seem funny flashy but that tells us what you've done, not what you 'want' to do
tell us your dreams.........................(no not that one! )

Re: I Wish I’d Done …..
Mine would be - I wish I had more confidence in myself and believed in myself more. I have always been a shy and unconfident person which I feel has let me down at times.

Although my motto for life is 'never regret what felt right at the time'.
