I think I can understand what you're going through (the fractured elbow, i can definitely relate to--I've broken so many bones, I'm surprised they're not all powder now). <BR/><BR/>It seems to me that these aren't really life-changing times but rather life-defining times, times where you know that things won't be the same as they were before. Moreover, how you feel about yourself has probably changed in degree, if not in quality.<BR/><BR/>Something inside me knows that you will be fine for quite some time. But spending that year on the beach might be what life's really about. <BR/><BR/>As William Saroyan would say, in the time of your life, live.X.

I wondered if one day I would have similar resignations and regret?" That even tugged on my heartstrings... I love the idea about taking your mom to the beach for a bit... what about even taking her to Tims parents for a while.. Its so tough to see your parents go through this process!

Which regret is too much of a regret coz' when it comes to regrets i regret to say I've got lots of terribly regretful stuff to painfully regret..it's a candy jar of "why the hell did I do that or didn't do that?" I'm the queen of regrets...if there ever is one..Heavy crown to wear...<BR/><BR/>And it's odd that I was thinking along the same lines about kids. Should I have had more? Was i selfish in life..too selfish to have had reasonings why i stopped with two when there were times my husband and even people around me were prodding me for at least one more...<BR/><BR/>we all have questions...<BR/><BR/>I hope your injured arm heals well.
