What mistake in life are you thankful for?

[MrScorpio]

Getting my heart broken by the wrong girl early in my youth... It smoothed things out a lot as time went on.

1. Getting fired from a corporate job

It literally saved my life. I had a brain tumor but didn't know it and only got it checked out because of something I had to do for the next job I got.

2. Going to a private high school for two years.

I hated it and for years didn't know of anything good that ever came of it, but because I didn't take civics class my freshmen year over there (which was standard in public school) and therefore didn't take civics class until my junior year when I returned to public school, as a result I got a civics teacher who changed my life who I wouldn't have otherwise gotten.

4. Marrying my first wife

13 years of marriage, 7 years of pure hell. But I wouldn't want my kids any other way.

5. My kids

:P

None planned (and I was using birth control for all three of them - I was a fertile gal) but all wonderful.

6. Me!

My parents weren't married when I was conceived. I wan an "oops" baby...

7. Getting pregnant.

It was an accident more than a mistake, but still... best kids ever. :)

9. My second baby was a "Naw, it's safe this time of the month, just 'retreat early' *wink wink*" kind

:rofl:

10. I got pregnant while on the pill.

Such effective things, those pills. As long as you take them at the exact same time every day.
:P

12. Flunking University.

wouldn't have had any kick-around time, wouldnt have got bored, wouldn't have written to my present wife. I would have not been married by now (probably).

13. I adopted 2 kitties after my Angel kitty passed away.Their owner was moving

out of town. About two weeks later, she wanted them back.
Had I not given up those cats I wouldn't have been able to give my current kitty (who was a rescue)a home. :loveya:
