What would it have been,
the career I might have had
if I stayed healthy?
I have changed so much,
I can barely imagine
businesswoman me.
The new me shines too
though in quite different ways.
Still, I’d love to know.

WHAT-IFs... well my head get full of those too.... Would I have lived/stayed a year or two in the northern US or Canada, that was always my biggest dream....? Just to experience life in another country for a while and then to return to my own country?
MS stopped that dream, and now grasping to the second-best: that I can still go on vacation those places, just not stay there for a longer period.... but the what-if is still there
While I'm becoming resigned (never really accepting) to my 'new life,' I still wonder how far I could have gone in my work. I had so many ideas in my mind, and I so wanted to make them work. Unfortunately, this thief snatched them away, and all I can do now is wonder.
Peace,

I like the new me that shines today...it is a never-ending question though, the what ifs
I was never career orientated. I switched careers so many times. I was lucky that my MS hit later in life, and I had a chance to experience a variety of things before I became grounded.
Anne, Muff, Kim, and Karen,
The what ifs can be never ending, and I usually don't spend a lot of time there because that can feel depressing. However, on occasion, I do go there and think about all those years of education and dedication, the responsibilities I exercised, and, not least of all, the money I used to make. And, yeah, in those occasional moments I fantasize about where I could be now in my business career, the financial ease it would have afforded, and the interesting things I might have been involved in. Then I work very hard at letting it go, knowing there will come another point down the line when I will have another moment of reflection about what might have been. And that's okay, I think, because I have moved on in many ways and have created a life meaningful in different ways. I am not mired in regret.
