Billy Joel sings "Don't go changing to try and please me....la la la...I want you just the way you are".  That's so sweet and accepting to appreciate someone the way they are and to hope for them not to change...but it's totally unrealistic!  While, I am taking the song a little out of context, the lyrics should maybe be "Don't change for me, but I know you will change over time so will I...we can try to accept it, or choose to leave.....lalalalalalaaaa" My version does not flow well, but it's much more realistic.
Personally I have a lot of regrets. They range from bad hair cuts to getting kicked out of college my freshman year. I’ve said things to friends that I regret; hurt people and I have made bad fashion choices (child of the 80's). Sometimes I ask "Why did I do that?" So dumb! So ignorant! I make mistakes, we all make mistakes…but we can also learn from them as well…maybe? Maybe not!

Over winter break, my sons and I had a discussion about  “geniuses” and we talked about Tesla, Einstein, Mozart…along with a bunch of others. I thought….ALL MEN? Huh? I asked...

I get good parking spots. Usually up front, almost every-time. Why? Luck? (I don’t believe in luck), or: am I more patient to find the good spot have better timing...
