Gosh I thought I'd be practicing international law by the time I was 30 with no kids and living somewhere absolutely fabulous.

Uh...no. LOL! Far from that dream..but the life I have I wouldn't change one bit....

Sometimes we need a friend to see things with more clarity. Good luck today

I received this email a little while ago. (One of those pesky forwards, but I just got a good kick out of it.)

It's a picture of these two angels sitting next to one another and the email read as follows:

A good friend would come and bail you out of jail, but a best friend would be sitting in jail with you saying. "Damn we f*cked up."

I hope you enjoyed that and the company of your friend. Like the previous comment said, sometimes you do just need a friend to shine the light of optimism on some things.

enjoy what you have now. there are lots of people who are married with children who are completely miserable. i had a plan for myself a long time ago. i gave up on it, then a new one emerged.

No, here I am (joke...)

You know, I've given up on life plans, because life doesn't go according to plan. Things just have a habit of... happening. You just have to be aware of opportunity, I think, and you'll be fine.

G, don't be cross. You sound alright!.

I kinda wish I was in your position.
By the time I turned 30 I had 3 children (that I totally adore), was divorced from my 1st husband whom I had adored at first, married to my 2nd husband (whom I still swear hung the moon!) but kinda wished that I had taken more time to enjoy being a single adult (aka Freedom)!!

Sorry I haven't done my "S" yet...I will though...

I know how you feel.. when I was 16 I decided that I would be married at 24, have my first baby at 27... and well, that was all I thought of for life plans - because I figured that was all I needed to plan for. I was married at 23 and a half, at 27 I couldnt contemplate kids, and at 28, he left me for someone else. So, here I am at 35, with none of the things that I "planned" for - and it is all still good.
