You mean in me or the world in general. In me I'd just be younger so I could make different mistakes to see where that would take me. In the world in general there are a lot of things I'd change. I have always said "If everyone would just do things the way I say the world would be perfect." But no one listens. Dorothy |

I'd like my joints not to ache.... there is always the Beauty Contestant answer .."World Peace" but that ain't gonna happen. Not pesimistic here, just a realist about human nature. I if could wish for one thing to change it is every time somebody says "you wouldn't understand" that they swap places with the person they are whining at and discover that actually, they have walked that road, but they're not moaning about it. That and a smaller belly. It always looks huge from where my eyes are placed. I think I suffer from foreshortening. When I was a kid I always put "4 inches on my legs" on my Christmas list. sorry, Dorothy, did you say something? 
love and kisses, Jan

In myself I would have rather had a chance at education. But, for the most part I am pretty happy with my life.

I would like to be thinner. I would like my baby(ferret) Bob, back. (I need some more time with him). I'd like my grandmother to be alive. (theres some things I need to know, but she'd have to NOT have alzheimers if she came back). I'd like to take the people who play thumping car/home stereos and magically turn them into NON-IDIOTS, who won't play that stuff and disturb anyone anymore. I would like to change my husband into a less selfish person. (but since he's 50 that AIN'T gonna happen). I would like there to be more 'haves' and less 'have nots'..... Chrys

I'd like there to be a little more love and tolerance in the world. I wish I could change and be more tolerant of idiots!

In the 'whole world' picture I would ask for more acceptance of other people. In my own 'little world' picture I would like to change the part in me that has yet to wake up and give me the willpower to lose weight. Grandma Sue

I would like to change where I live. Oh I love my house even though I haven't been there in 2 years. I wish I could move my house to a cliff somewhere over the ocean. Be able to have my morning coffee listening to the waves coming in and my evening glass of wine listening to the waves. I would settle for either a sunrise or sunset over the water. Other than that I have been pretty happy with my life. Have had a few ruts I have gotten into, but got out of them. How else would I have learned so much and grown so much in this lifetime? As with everyone else I do wish we had more world peace, but I do not see that happening at least in this lifetime. No more poverty, everyone has health insurance, no one goes to bed hungry, etc.etc. Summer Summer

I have been thinking about this since asked. I would change my house not the location but it needs lots of repairs that we can't aford right now. In the bigger picture I would like aforrdable heath care for everyone. We had to cancel ours last winter because we couldn"t afford it anymore. It was over $900 a month for our family. because we are both overweight & my husband has had a kidney stone we are not eligible for some of the cheaper plans out there. We can only get coverage through Blue Cross/ Blue Sheild. We have no dental ins. so we only go when there is a problem.( I know this costs more but they don't take payments.) I have some other personal changes I am working on ie. losing weight decluttering house, finishing projects before starting more (that is a hard one for me), etc. i probably could go on but those are the 2 biggest things right now.

If I could go back and change something about my life, I would have gone to college and would be a nurse. It's not that I didn't have the chance. My dad tried to get me to go, but I chose not to. I keep thinking about actually doing it some day. Maybe after my kids finish college.

I have a few laws I'd like to see changed, I think our judicial system is poor. As far as for myself, I'd like to be living beside Summer on the ocean, but I'd prefer the house on the beach, and thinner thighs while I'm at it.
