Really? How's that science? Ugh!! The things we've been through at the hands of professions who where supposed to be take care of us...

I would tell her that she needs to look her doctor in the eyes and tell him to OPEN A BOOK! <br />I totally didn't get what he was saying until recently. When I was 16 my brother was very sick with what turned out to be Crohns Disease and Lupus. I guess he thought my brother was getting lots of attention? What an idiot. Who can fake swollen glands and whacked out bloodwork anyway? <br />I think I hear my 16 year old self wishing I'd make a call to the guy as my 40ish self.Amy Junodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06060344931214062441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902504831906503458.post-7952603124929618682012-04-11T14:34:02.440-06:002012-04-11T14:34:02.440-06:00Yeah...

I accidently planned it *really* well. If I got rid of some part, would I still have the tools I need to do what I'm doing now? I don't know.<br /><br />I could have gone to MIT and didn't. Though I regret that... I don't regret the experiences and wisdom I gained by taking my *other* life path. Except maybe: "Leave the painting as it is! you know it's stunning! Let that layer dry and come back in if you have to..." <br /><br />Still, the painting sold, so who am I to judge? lol.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00695167212487592726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902504831906503458.post-26035277748130068552012-04-11T13:41:40.500-06:002012-04-11T13:41:40.500-06:00What a great letter!

For me I would have told myself to travel abroad in my twenties, take that job with the FBI and be sure to get and keep long term disability on myself at all times. And oh yes, always...always...stop to smell the flowers.Deb aka AbcsOfrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619087592028571941noreply@blogger.com
