My Etch-a-Sketch fantasy

Sometimes I wish that people or relationships could be shaken and given a clean slate again, like with an Etch-a-Sketch or the reboot of a computer. No baggage, no messed-up assumptions or miscommunications, maybe even a chance to make a different decision. Starting over would be so great, I think. At least in certain cases.

And if I could have this gift just once? I might have started studying for this biochem exam earlier. :)

Just When I thought this would have been heart-string tugging post... You go and have a sense of humour :)

I agree that life should come with a limited number of do-overs.

Cool. I think life is an Etch-a-Sketch. We just don't want to turn it over and shake away everything as the good goes away with the bad.

Guess I should learn how to use both controls simultaneously to draw a smooth arc instead of the bumpy, jagged line I'm following. ;)

Jason - I'm tricky that way. Watch out for me. :)

Kalisa - It would be nice, wouldn't it?

Pete - You have given me pause for thought. That is one of the greatest compliments I could ever pay you. :)

Now that might be a pretty cool power to have!
