Could I have or should I have?

Hindsight is always 20/20 Rob.............we all have those "woulda/coulda/shoulda" things in our lives but I think we are where we are and did what we did for a reason and shouldn't look back.  Just my thought.

In mid-life, we all wonder about the road not taken. It's perfectly natural.

Hi Rob, You hesitated in the past when you had this opportunity for some reason. You probably listened to your gut then. Our decisions bring where we are today and help form us. I'm thinking that you are in a good place whether you purchased your childhood home or not. Now, I would love to knock on the door of the home I grew up in and just ask if I could take a walk through to see how my memory is compared to the reality.

I actually just closed on my childhood home a couple months ago. I wanted my kids to experience the great area that I grew up in.

Don't hang on to the past.  Let someone else build menories in that home. 

Life is made up of roads not taken. Don't think about the road you could have taken, think about how well the one you did take worked out!

My grandmother died many years ago, but for as long as I can remember she spoke of her biggest regret.  When her husband died from an accident at work, when she was very young and had two toddlers, she was offered a lump sum of money or a house.  She took the money and blew through it rather fast.  She spent the rest of her life wishing she had taken the house.  How sad.  I learned a lesson from her mistake....the lesson being we just can't waste time on regrets.  It's eats you up like cancer.  You did what you did, and you can't change it.
