Blog award

What seems like ages ago,

sweet Cory from:

http://pinkdogwoodblossom.blogspot.com/

gave me this award !

Thank you again Cory.

I have to answer this question :

If I had the chance to go back & change one thing in my life

what would it be ?

Then pass the award to six bloggers.

***

The answer to the question is without doubt,

to go back and give my teenage self a good pep talk.

Tell her not to be so shy & nervous.....

Tell the boy who asked my best friend  to find out

if I would go out with his  friend

 " Yes "

Don't answer for me -

I didn't know anything about it til later ( Too late ) !!!

It might have helped my confidence to know

someone wanted to ask me out & didn't because my best friend told his friend no !!! 

Tell myself the acne does go eventually

( and you will look nice )

You have a great life ahead

but don't waste time in the cafe at college -

get working hard

& get that  qualification !

Learn to drive now silly girl

cos at 47 you still don't !
Stop biting your nails..
cos at 47 you still do !

Stop being so reckless walking home from parties alone in the dark to save your taxi fayre

and NEVER take a lift from someone who has been drinking
and don't drink too much ...

as thirty years later you will lecturing your daughter about this very subject !!!

" What ? I have a daughter" ???

umm probably shouldn't have told her that !

( and a son  -shhhsh don't tell )

( oh ! and a wonderful husband  !!!)

Tell her everything is OK and she does stop being so quiet...

in fact later on,

she'll find that...

SHE CAN' T SHUT UP !!!
