Leave that guilt far far behind. What would I do to give myself an HEA? Get read of that last 5 pounds and keep it off, grab my family and move to Montana, and maneuver myself into a position where I could visit Yellowstone National Park every day for the rest of my life. Just those three things would make me a very happy camper. Yay for Suzanne! Leave that guilt far far behind.

I'd give myself more will power to exercise more and lose more weight. No guilt allowed Suzanne—at least not for long!

It's 93 here today! As for guilt, you deserve to be happy, no guilt should enter the equation. I am pretty happy, things are the way I like them. (Except for Daughters adolescence!)

Guilt seems to be very big with us, doesn't it? I think women, as a rule, do guilt very, very well. Which is bad. In my father's family, though, Guilt is genetic, and most of us got a healthy dose of it in our DNA. As an only child, I may have received more than my fair share. Not sure that's scientific, but if you knew me better you might agree... What would I do with my life to give myself a happy ending? I think I'm in the process: Trying to move beyond Guilt and Fear, and putting myself out into the world as a Writer. For years I wished, but didn't act. Submitting the first manuscript to a contest, then to a publisher, were big steps for me. The first acceptance was an amazing piece of validation. (Which could be a topic for another day...) Suzanne,

If I could make a new ending it would be to have the nerve to do things instead of letting the guilt keep me where I am.
