Omg!...pondering over the #BOM - Blog of the month Challenge, took be back quite a few decades.
If you had the opportunity to travel back in time for just a week - to change just one thing in your life... What would it be?
There are quite a few things I would love to have changed, or shall I say, re-adjust a little.
When one is young and carefree, one has this concept that we have all the time in the world to make choices concerning our careers and life itself; then suddenly..."Boom Bang Crash!...life suddenly takes a U turn, and one is in a relationship, then marriage happens and children arrive.
What on earth happened to all those plans of traveling overseas on a working holiday, or pursuing one's dream career.
Yip!...time stands still for no-one...Omg!...then we're suddenly old and knitting for grandchildren and talking to the dog (one's fur kid) that is, not the old man Lol! I mean I do talk to him too...oh dear!... let me shut up before I get into trouble.

If I could travel back in time, there is one thing that I would definitely change.
While I was in my last year at school, I worked at a Hairdressing Salon in the neighborhood on a Saturday morning. I really enjoyed working there, learning about different hairstyles, although my job was to sweep up the hair from the floor and clean the wash hand basins and the general tiding up of the place , basically, I was the cleaner for the morning Lol!...It didn't bother me at all...I still enjoyed it.

I was going to pursue that path and become a "Hairdresser" and one day have my own Salon.
At the time, three years apprenticeship and low pay, seemed so far away...instead, I became a clerk in a retail store for three years before meeting the love of my life, nothing else mattered, all dreams and plans seemed to fade into the distance... "Romance" was in the air.
Oh boy!...love can make one soooo! blind.
I regret to this day, that I did not pursue that dream of becoming a Hairdresser .
If I had the opportunity to go back in time, that would definitely be the thing I'd change for sure.
Oh well!...one cannot go back and change it, if only one could....that's about the only real regret I have in my life...I would've been the best Hairdresser in town..."Sigh"....bloody hell Cheryl...what were you thinking girl?
With that regrettable note...I shall leave you wonderful people to ponder over your travels back in time, and look forward to reading your stories.
Until next time, have a great day.
Oh well....I suppose one can play hairdressing with one's grand-babies.
