Blog Journal Days 12 & 13 My Biggest Regret and My Ideal Age

Welcome back – I took a few days off from blogging while we were up at the cottage.

So back to playing catch-up with my blog journal;

Biggest regret

A tough one, and not easy to share because despite the fact that I blog about most aspects of my life I am quite a private person, but here goes….

I probably most regret spending too much of my life worrying about what others thought of me, particularly in my teenage years. I lacked confidence but now realise I am sure they never gave me a second thought!

My other regret is probably not giving up my job sooner to stay at home with our children. At the time I chose to work, but looking back I would have done it differently. However I was fortunate that financially we were able for me to stop when I did, and the whole family has (I hope!) benefited from me staying at home!

Following on from that …. My ideal age… NOW – being in my 40’s!

I am happy, confident and I don’t care (as much) what others think of me.  I know who I am and am happy with my decisions, I have a relationship with a loving God, I have a loving husband and family, stability and security, friends who care and I get to be creative too (blog, photography, jewellery and digi scrapping – all which I really only discovered my passion for in my 40th year)!

So how about you – biggest regret and ideal age?

Finally a photo or two! I may not have blogged over the weekend but I certainly took photos!  These photos were taken at Dunseverick Harbour – we have had a cottage in this area of the Causeway coast in N Ireland for about 5 years now, and we are still discovering new places, coves to explore, rocks to climb etc.

For those who regularily visit this blog, you will know that it is very rare to find a picture of me on the blog. After taking some photos of the kids, they persuaded me to let them use my Canon, and here is the result.

This post is part of a challenge to blog daily for a month with different prompts each day. You can see links to the other participants here, and you are welcome to play along at any time.
