Re: Longing Poll
What's one talent you wish you had that you don't? It's not really a talent, but just a general way of being: I wish I were more gentle with my belongings. I just broke my wedding ring for the third time. Literally, a prong broke off. I try to be careful with things, but I always break stuff. The only things in my life that I am gentle with are my pets
What's one food you wish you could cook/bake but you can't? I'm pretty good at this, though there are some of my mom's recipes that I have had a hard time recreating!
What's one thing you wish you'd done more of in your late teens/early 20s? Practiced.
What's one thing you'd do more of now if you had the time? Practice.

What's one thing you wish you'd done more of in your late teens/early 20s? Exercise strenuously. My current health/pain doesn't permit running, heavy weight lifting, strenuous hiking, etc., and I wish I had known I had limited time back then. I miss the feeling after a really good workout! Now all I'm allowed do is light upper body weights, walking, yoga, and it's just not the same.
What's one thing you'd do more of now if you had the time? Read.

What's one thing you wish you'd done more of in your late teens/early 20s? I wish I'd dated. It's not like I'm not unhappy with H or anything, but he was my first - and only - boyfriend. I would've taken advantage of the break we took and dated around.
What's one thing you'd do more of now if you had the time? Read. I miss reading.

But, it's just won't fit in our timeline
