What is one thing you would change about yourself?

Where do I start? Only one thing? No way, there’s a list a mile long: 

I wish I was fitter, and stronger, and just liked sports and physical activities in general. 

I wish I wasn’t so grumpy and was happier more of the time.

I wish I could focus and concentrate on things.

I wish I had a better memory so I could learn more easily.

I wish I wasn’t so unsure of myself and what I know. 

But you know what? I don’t think I should choose. I’m gonna let my wife pick the thing she wants to change about me most, because she has to live with me. I think I know which one she would select!

    One of my favorite lines that I use daily is this: “Someone will ask how I’m doing, and I’ll reply, ‘I don’t know, my wife hasn’t told me yet!’”

      Ha ha that’s so true! I’m always getting told off for being a miserable sod! 🤣

    Dear Paul, your honesty is so refreshingly raw, it’s like a comedy special where the punchline is “wife knows best”—pure gold!
