If you could change one moment in your past, what would it be?

I would not change a single moment of my entire life. Not a single blessed one. It's who I am after all! The good, the foolish, the bad... it's all still me.

Really, this question is just silly. No one would ever say that they would change a happy moment of their life, now would they? So what's left? The boring parts? I'm almost never bored, and when I am it's my own fault. The world is so interesting and I've so many lovely people in my life to spend time with that I have no excuse at all to be bored. There are those times when I do something stupid and made myself look foolish, but everybody has times like that! Gracious, if you can't laugh at yourself when you do something truly daft, you need to learn how to see the humor in it. So I'd keep those times. Then there are the hard, sad times that no one ever wants to experience. No one can get through life without experiencing grief and loss and sorrow. It just isn't possible. You gain wisdom from the bad times as well as the good. Goodness knows, I need all the wisdom I can get!

If I went back and rearranged all the little things that I didn't like, or all the times that I made great, whopping mistakes, I would surely end up being a different person. Then who's to say that I would have ended up meeting Pippin! He might not have liked me and then we would never have gotten married. I can't imagine my life without Pippin. Being with him is surely the finest thing that ever happened to me, so why would I risk that just to go back and change something in my past?
