Things I Wish I'd Known

Reading Nora Ephron's book, I Feel Bad About My Neck and other thoughts on being a woman (a great quick read btw) inspired us to ask you, What do you wish you'd known? "Take More Pictures", "If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit" (from Nora's list)

What do you wish you'd known?

Eat the good chocolate, use the good china, wear your party shoes.

I wish I had known what a useless pursuit perfection is! I would have spent  a hell of a lot less time on it and a hell of a lot of time on my own quirkey imperfection!!!!

Mom

I wish I had known that unhappy situations just stay unhappy! I would have never tried to fix things I just would have left!

When you are young you suffer from the illusion that everyone is looking at you!!! Ha, when you are my age you realize that no one is looking at you and that is when the real fun starts!!!! Too bad we can't figure this out when we are young!!

I wish I would have known that no one can make you happy except yourself! I would have had a much nicer youth had I been resposible for my own joy and not left it up to others.

That I'd become more and more invisible every year. Now I understand why older women are drawn to big floral patterns.

I wish I had known that it was not a race (my life that is!) If I had known I would have taken more time to enjoy a lot of things that I rushed through!

Mom

I wish I had known every time I felt fat that I wasn't and every time I thought that I was fat the stress added five pounds!

15

Mom

I wish that I had known 30 was not old! I wish that I had known 40 was not old! and so on!

16

Mom

I wish that I had known how important it was to keep my friends when I got married!

17

Mom

Doing less is more. I would have done more to do less.

18

Mom

I would have had way more fun! I would not have cared so much about so many things that just don't count!

19

Mom

I WOULD NEVER, NEVER HAVE COMMENTED ON OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN!!! Especially now that I know as soon as you say "my kid would never do that" they do!!!!

Mom

I would never have bought into that whole skin tight, jeans with high heels look! It never worked for me!

Mom

I wish I had cared less if other people approved or liked me. I like me.
