Anytime I made a mistake and took the wrong road, which was more than once. I did not have a toolbox to draw from when I was younger, and made many glaring mistakes to the detriment of many. I regret them deeply, and try my best to live differently now. 1 Reply Malag5 months agoMalagI really wouldn’t want to. It would kill the beauty of whatever day I chose. Also would I be reliving the actual day or my memory of the actual day? Both diverge sharply over time. 2 Reply ADP5 months agoADPThis is a difficult question. There are many memorable days that I would like to relive. The one that sticks out the most is the birth of my first child. I remember every detail of the whole day all the way up to when she was born at 11:20p.m. I also realize that I should live every day like it needs to be one I would like to re-live. I go about days just routinely and often times don’t even recall things from the day. I would like to make some part of each day memorable and important. 4 Reply Blossom5 months agoBlossomI do not know how to answer this without selling an experience or other peeps short. Pulling weeds with my Mom, quiet time, so funny, she had a dry sense of humor and was hilarious when you least expected, With all her imperfections I felt a lot of gentle love around her, for everyone, not just me. I love the word for the day on this site, Don’t wait until you have no more suffering.

I love the word for the day on this site, Don’t wait until you have no more suffering. Me having a day where I suffered beyond what I thought was my endurance, and saying out loud, I am going to be happy, and that is what happened. Amazing turning point that enriched my life. At the top of the list is meeting my partner, growing pains, but I get him and he gets me, in all our wackiness and deep sincerity. A very kind and patient man and I get to learn how to do that myself. We support each other. He makes me laugh and I get to give that back.I had a wonderful enlightening day yesterday, felt so rich and present, grateful and happy. Today I am forced to stay in bed, I do not like it at all. But it is okay, I am learning to let someone help me, it is hard for me. I love the saying don’t look for me in the past, I do not live there anymore. I am grateful for each and every day. 😏💖👸 Read More3 Reply Don Jones5 months agoDon JonesThere are many sweet-fragrant-memory-days that I can revisit whenever I choose. But right now, I am happy being right where I am. 2 Reply Nimisha Gogia5 months agoNimisha GogiaA day with my father any day♥️🥺 4 Reply Elle5 months agoElleCould not do it with just ONE day…..so- I guess I’m grateful for where I am now & want to keep growing forward. As a person, I know I will make mistakes, but- hopefully they will be new mistakes that I can learn from [rather than] being caught in the ‘hamster-wheel/habitrail’ of the past. 4 Reply Mica5 months agoMicaCan I live several days over, when I failed to give my child the support they needed? 7 Reply Shamburn5 months agoShamburnMy mind and thought went here also. Grateful, though, for messy reconciliations. Shalom to you and yours. 4 Reply Mica5 months agoMicaThank you, Shamburn – at least I can now give them uncritical love and support. Am grateful to have [finally!] reached this stage. Shalom to you and yours, too – 3 Reply Maurice Frank5 months agoMaurice FrankAny day I have laughed with friends, even for a few moments. 6 Reply Silvina Ramos5 months agoSilvina RamosA walk in the woods, sitting for lunch with my family, a moment to reflect upon my memories, listening to the music I like most, watering the garden, writing a gratitude message for beloved people in my life, and a prayer for the world. 24 hours to touch my sould. 3 Reply Marnie Jackson5 months agoMarnie JacksonWow, this is a tough question – as all things evolve…. I would say my wedding day – but my children weren’t around yet… Or the birth of one child – but the other children weren’t there Or a picnic when the kids were small – but then I wouldn’t get the laughter and personality that I get now… Perhaps the answer to this question is – I wouldn’t want to live one day over because as thing evolve – new and equally positive things can happen. 9 Reply Barb C5 months agoBarb CLove this answer. 2 Reply sparrow5 months agosparrowI don’t remember the exact calendar day it was, but it was in the beginning of May, 1970 on the coast of Maine about two weeks after my firstborn son died suddenly. I was sitting on a hill looking over what used to be called Herring Gut; it was early morning and the air was crisp and fresh. It was there that I had a profound epiphany . . . that we don’t disappear when we die, or go to heaven. We dissolve, the way our earthly body does, and become part of a greater Whole.

I don’t really want to go back in time, but if I could live ONE day over, it would be my wedding day, March 20, 2021. It was a beautiful, perfect day. 3 Reply EJP5 months agoEJPI would not want to live one day over as each day “happens” for a reason and has been my life, my story. 7 Reply Butterfly5 months agoButterflyI have lived many, many days in this lifetime already. All of them, whether considered blessed, good, bad, traumatic, life-changing have brought me to this day. I wonder what will come my way today? 6 Reply Michele5 months agoMicheleFirst time I kissed a girl – life changing. 7 Reply devy5 months agodevyI am trying to live on day at a time by living the present. What has happened is gone no matter if it was good or bad so I treat both equal. By living the now one appreciates what’s happening and stop living in the past which like water in a a stream has already flowed by, never to be seen again. 5 Reply Patricia5 months agoPatriciaI agree with Kevin – and that was going to be my response when I first read the question. I’ve learned something from each day I lived. Now I have today. Today. 6 Reply MEG5 months agoMEGIf I could live ONE day over, it would be a day when my father was well and happy. I wish my dad didn’t suffer so much before he passed away. I wish I could live this one day over to tell him again how much he was loved. 8 Reply Linda5 months agoLindaMeg, I wish the same thing about my dad. He suffered too much, I wish I could say I’m sorry for some of the things I said over the years. 3 Reply MEG5 months agoMEGThank you for your reply Linda.
