Been A while

I know it has been a while, but I have been trying to figure out what exactly to do with a blog. :) In reality, I guess it is just a place to get things off your chest, wonder about why things are the way they are, and maybe discover a bit about yourself.
I find myself wondering if things could have been different in my life, could I have been happier, or more 'successful' if I had made different choices. But when I look back there are very few things I would change. My life's work was enjoyable, and rewarding ( well maybe not financially so. ) and I don't know that some of the other things in my life I could have changed if I wanted to. Could I have been a different person and still have had the family life I had in the time period I had it? What part does the social environment play in how you respond to your home life? I am not entirely sure we will ever know the answer to that. Just a thought.
