The way each event of our lives are interconnected, I'd be afraid to change anything. I think they call it the "butterfly effect." Change one little
thing, and it could change your whole world. I think I'll stick with what I have. I have it pretty good. 
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

Regrets?
Just marrying my Ex-wife. Wait; scratch that. If I hadn't married her I wouldn't have my kids, grand kids and great-grandkids today. No regrets for
that.

As I said when I was turning 50 and about to get my shoulder rebuilt, "If I knew I was going to in this good of shape I would have gone harder". 
My life has been very good and will continue to be blessed for as long as it lasts.

Was thinking exactly what you said when I saw the topic headline. Was wondering if anyone else thought the same, and bingo, there's your post.
That "ex" dilemma thing. Sure don't miss her, but kids/grandkids has higher standing.
I could have divorced her almost ten years prior and looking back it would have made more sense, been better for all. Live and learn. That past
experience taught me what a wonderful wife I have now.

I'm almost 55 now and sometimes I wonder about what would have happened if I'd done one thing over another in my life, but I don't regret
anything....what has come before makes us who we are today and I am happy with that. After all, it has led me to Baja where I have a beautiful home
and many friends. My heart is there and hopefully I can be there full time soon!
As Mark Twain said,
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Go out there and live it while you can!!! That way when you can no longer explore you will have great memories and no regrets!!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

My answer is from a 21 foot VHF antennae.
First crossed the border maybe 11 years ago with it extending beyond the front & rear a long ass 4 door 4x4 previous government owned Ford pickup
. . . long bed. Surprised when the border guys didn't think a thing of it.
Built a tall tower for it. Became Radio Loreto, same antennae the coast guard uses at their American stations.
Anyway, the tower leaned after the last storm . . . cannot be repaired . . . tower is corroded, and came down today.
Dropping the thing, the antennae fractured. Toll of intense sunlight here. It was brittle.
So how's it relate? Cannot be helped. Time and stuff took its toll, same as my body.
Do the best you can given your vices. Baja helps. Be dead if I hadn't come here.
American by birth, Mexican by choice.

Funny you should say that. I just opened my dividend check from Apple. I bought at $8 a share a long time ago. I sure do regret not buying more.
I regret not facing my fears more often... dancing with lions, suppressing my lizard brain.
I'm not talking about riding a motorcycle in the rain at midnight with federales stopping me with their AK47s. I'm talking about my fear of getting
out of my comfort zone with meeting new people, telling a woman she is beautiful, attempting to speak Spanish with the locals when I really want to
hear their story. I have missed many opportunities because I was so afraid people would think I would say something stupid.
I even have a fear of clicking the "post reply" button.
Here goes...

Interesting article from a nurse in Australia.
Baja keeps calling. Hope I don't regret waiting for retirement!
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto!

In 2010 and again in 2013 we decided to go other places rather than Baja. Looking forward this winter to go home, visit our friends and to do
anything to help the people of Mulege to recover. We have seen a lit in our travels but Baja always feels like home.

I regret not realizing the mormon church is a cult and not getting out sooner.
If you\'re not living on the EDGE... You\'re taking up too much room! Its never too late for a darkside.
