If you could return to a phase of your life and be a fly on the wall watching the replay of some events what part of your life would you choose?
I'm facinated by this idea.... viewing myself and people around me, knowing everything that I know now.
Without a doubt I would return to my college days.
I fell in love in college.
I discovered myself in college.
I layed the groundwork for what was to become my life in those days.
I would love to re-watch some of those things with a fast forward remote in my hand. I think there is so much I could glean about myself and use it to be a better person today. I just think it would be fun.
What part of your life would you revisit and why?

I'd like to go back to my younger years as a kid. I don't remember much of anything about my childhood except certain fun things which were few and far between. My teen years were a blast and I do remember the fun I had with friends and relatives. I played alot of sports so was considered the tomboy in the neighborhood. I loved that title!

I had a tomboy phase too, carolbee. I liked it.
I would never want to revisit my teen years. Can you say AWKWARD!!

That would be nice to be a fly on the wall or a insect that no one can see or hear. I had a dream once that I was where my ex husband was and he was fighting with the woman he left me for but no one could see me. It was like I was there but I wasn't there. The funny thing about this is before I divorced him. He told me he made a mistake for leaving me for her. This was like 2 years later. I looked at him and said well it is to late now.

I have dreams like that fairly often. It is always about being back in the classroom as a teacher. And always, the class is completely out of control and I can't regain composure. Weird. I wonder what a dream interpretor would say about that one.

I am not sure that I would want to revisit any part of my life, anyway I wrote about all of it and it is in my book so that is revisiting it too.

I started a rewind to fix mistakes discussion, recently.
I'm thinking with this one I'd rather just be a fly on the wall and watch myself developing in particular areas.

Okay....so you made me sit back and I looked up to the wall like where a fly could sit and I see that I have a cobweb! LOL....anyway which part of my life would I like to revisit? Maybe when the kids were home and growing up. Because now that they have children they use things they learned while growing for parenting and I truly do not remember some of the advice I taught them.

Lol Glad I could help out with the house cleaning, jillhill. Feel free to drop by and return the favor anytime you'd like.
Yes, that is a beautiful time of you life to want to revisit. How reward I imagine it must be to watch your kids raise their own kids. :)

Hmmmm, I cannot think of one single moment or time in my life that I would want to go back and observe. I know what mistakes I have made, and learned from them or corrected them. I have pictures, and my own memories, friends and family to help me remember and relive the fun, and happy times. Besides, this part of my life is the best part, so far. So, maybe some day, I might want to go observe this part of my life again, but not today.

It would be hard to decide. I miss my granparents alot and would love to see a glimpse even of them again. I would love to go back and move arround to different times and see people. I think we will see them in heaven one day.I would like to go back to happy childhood memories, times that stood out above them all.

Oh yes, that scary insect spray. You make me laugh, cupid74.
Time machine doesn't appeal to me, I wouldn't want to go back as a person. Just an observer.

Well, if u want to back as observer, then being invisible is best option, dont take any chance as of fly or some other insects its not only insect spray, but then lizard, spider and some insect eater plant would be looking for u tooo
Take care

I think I'd like to go back to my very early childhood and watch things I don't remember clearly from the viewpoint of an adult. . .but I'd probably see what a brat I was so I guess I won't.

If i will be given a chance to flash back memories of my life and watch it I will pick my childhood. I have never been as happy as i am when i was still young. All i think about is christmas and holidays. Having fun with my peers and spend time with my family. It is the best chapter of my life that i wanna revisit.
