It's a Wonderful Life

I have to confess I had never watched the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" until last nite. I can't really say why I had never watched it but I finally watched this movie and I have to say it is a unbelievable movie. It really makes you think about ones life and how we are all connected and how important we are in alot of peoples lives. It made me think of what mark I have left on peoples lives and how things would have been if I had not been born. My mark would be meeting and marrying Duane and having a family.. I have always said that I was put on this earth to have kids. I have said that my most important job was to raise kids to raise them to be adults that will impact lives in whatever they choose to do. I know that I have done a good job and can say that when ever I question myself I can look at Jenna and Nick be proud of them. I guess alot of people question women who choose to stay home and raise their kids. I never questioned that I LOVED staying at home and being with them in the morning when they wokr up till I tucked them into bed. Yes, there were days when I wanted to scream and probably did but I would not trade it for anything. Careers come and go but your kids are always going to be there. I may not have invested money in IRA accounts but I invested me in my kids and the payoff has been awesome. I have NO regrets and if I had to do it again I would hands down. We may not have had the biggest house, newest cars, vacations every year or the newest gadgets but we did fine. So I look back at my life and say we choose our way.. and my way makes me say It is a Wonderful Life.....
