I'd change lots of things. And I'd like to have been a short blonde instead of a tall brunette. (I'm not tall now as I've shrunk a lot) 😁

I’d like to be able to run really fast as I used to, especially if a bus was coming.
I miss being really really slender with good legs.

Same as you travelsafar tho fortunately Mum is still around and lives just near me.

I’d change so much I don’t know where to start.

The decisions we made cannot be undone, so I try not to regret anything, and only be thankful for the positives that have resulted. I was hard work for my lovely parents, until I had my son and daughter, and was then able to appreciate their wisdom and repay them for their love and support. I married a wrong ‘un (ex husband since 1974) but have my two children and four granddaughters, so absolutely no regrets. Yes, how lovely it would be to spend time with my parents, two sisters and Nan in our very modest, but warm, welcoming home, with the cats too. I have serious concerns about the world now, although my parents and grandparents lived through two world wars!

'The past or a foreign country, they do things differently there.' I have no wish to revisit the past. The decisions I made, I made for good reasons at the time. My dad knew I loved him all my life. Without my ex husband,I wouldn't have my lovely children. I've let go

I would love to go back and hug and kiss my parents and tell them how much I loved them despite not always showing it as much as I should have.
Would love to be able to go back to our old family home, to my old room with the pink candle wick cover and posters of the Monkees on the walls. To be looked after.
But wouldn’t want to be a teenager again, was a horrible time, I lacked confidence and was not conventionally good looking, was cast as the nerdy girl who got stuck with the single friend of my best friend’s boyfriend.

I’d like to be thoroughly fit and in good shape, with no horrible medical issues and pain.

I’d dearly love to hug both my parents again and thank them for being such wonderful parents.

I’d like to go back and change some career decisions (or would I?, I met my husband at work and though I’d probably still be married it wouldn’t be to him and my children wouldn’t be the ones I have and dearly love)

I’d also like tea with my dearest Granny and Grandma and Grampa, all died before I reached 16 and I miss them, much as I miss my dear parents.

I wonder what you'd like to do if anything was possible
Personally I'd love to return to my teenage years to once again experience being pain-free, slim and full of energy. To have a hug from my lovely mum and dad and say sorry for being selfish to them at times. To have the chance be surrounded by my siblings when we were all carefree and living under the same roof. My dearest youngest brother sadly no longer with us.
