List three things you regret not learning to do!

Go ahead and do it.
1. I never learned how to work on cars (I mean major stuff) properly, even thought my Grandfather was a mechanic and my father is pretty good with the tools?

2. Learning Spanish properly. I know many words from a mission trip and friends, but I wish I knew more cause the school I work at has many Spanish speaking kids, and it seems like many of the women I end up date are usually bilingual latinas.

3. Got a strong grasp on mathematics. If I did it would make life so much easier. I have to replace a fence around my yard soon and wish I new the exact coordinates, but I have to ask a friend to come out and do it. Also it would help with the taxes.

Your turn

You can still learn Spanish, just practice by watching the TV chanels and radio stations.
I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

1. Learning Spanish doh!

2. Knitting

3. Guitar

But these are all things I wish I would have started doing/learning a long time ago. I can still learn them now of course.

Like I wish I would have gotten into yoga 15 years ago, and I wish I would have gone to design school YEARS ago, and I wish I would have gone to college/university... lol

1. Learning how to play the piano - I started to take lessons when I was younger and I quit. Now I wish I hadn't. neutral

2. Learning how to swim - I'm terrified of deep water, but I really wish that someone taught me how to swim when I was younger. I don't think I'll ever learn . . .sigh

3. I can't think of a third one shrug

- I wish I had stuck with piano lessons. I took two years and stopped because I despised my piano teacher.

- Playing another instrument.

- Computer programming. I tried picking it up a few years after college, but life was too busy then and I didn't have the time anymore.

1. staying fluent in French

2. becoming fluent in Spanish

3. piano lessons. I actually begged my parents to get a piano and let me take lessons when I was in high school. I took lessons for two years, but then got too busy with sports and had to choose either basketball or piano. (Basketball won out.) I wish they would have made me take lessons as a child.

1) I wish I'd taken dance as a kid and become a formally trained dancer.

2) I wish I'd learned to play the piano.

3) I wish I'd paid more attention when my grandmother tried to teach me how to sew, knit and crochette.

1) I wish I had taken piano lesssons (I see I'm not alone on this).

2) I wish I had gone to college (working on it now, because I need, deserve and want more in life).

3) I wish I could learn to speak up for myself and say what I think when someone hurts my feelings and/or when I disagree with them (being shy sucks).
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
