Rene1111, Nanny, thank you for the sentiments, but I don't see anything in that dream happening, short of a miracle. I currently have no 'potential' for any of that at this time, and I don't see me 'getting married' in the remaining years of my life. (granted, the dog might be a possibility, as my last pet passed away some time back)
Now, if 'miracles' did happen, and I returned to the age of 20 again, knowing what I know now, then I'd be the first one to give it high-potential. But then again, who among us wouldn't want a 'second chance to do it right'?
It's a real shame you start life with resources and potential, yet without a lick of common sense. You end it with tons of common sense, and few resources to 'get it right' (nor any way to fix the past). All the money in the world couldn't fix what has been, nor set right what wasn't on the first pass. I drove so hard to build something, make something, that I was one who 'didn't stop to smell the flowers' until it was far too late. While I did amass a lot of wisdom (and knowledge, not the same as wisdom) along the way, I really got it too late to implement it. Given another chance, I could do it right, in spades. As with all people, it's not about knowing what should be done, it's about the opportunity that was missed along the way.
Nanny, I am quite the realist, granted. I just don't hold out hope for miracles...they are like lottery wins - few, far-between, and never for me. Que Sara, that's life.
P.S.: If I do suddenly stop posting, and you ever get down to the southern border...and find a little computer shop off the beaten path with a young 20'ish guy and gal working there, with a dog laid up on his own little 'couch pillow' in the corner, stop, say hi, and pet 'Joe' (the dog). You can then say you have proof miracles happen.
LOL, we'll see...they did say '6-weeks' in the dream, after all. You never know...(old guys can still hope).
