Sunday Scribblings- Second Chance

There are a few things that I would do differently

if proposed with a "second chance". If it were really possible,

and the oppportunity presented itself- how could I say no.

How could I say no to righting the one wrong thing in my

life that will always be there inside me, tearing my apart

at times, and makes me questions my value.

How could I once again make that bad decision?

However, would that second chance me going back

in time and doing it all over again. Then I really would

have to say "NO". Because all that has been created would

most likely cease to exist.

We all get second chances at times. I have a second chance to

finally finish my degree. And it is a second chance I am taking

seriously. It is something that I will work on with all my might.

I've had second, maybe third, or fourth chances at happiness.

Thank goodness. I fortunately didn't need that second chance

at getting my driver's liscence when I was 16, as I passed the first time.

But it sure is nice to know that that 2nd chance card is there waiting,

just in case.

I know that I will not get a second chance at raising my kids. I know

that there are friendships and relationships that are long gone.

I think with age and maturity, one comes to realize that although having

second chances is a nice safety net for some occasions, life is just really

too short to rely on them.
