- Not playing with your children (I'm still playing with them 35 years later...the games are different and so are the rules)
- Working too much (I'm safe)
- Afraid to say I love you. (I have NEVER said those words to anyone who hasn't earned them....never.... and I say them daily to kids, grands and friends I adore!)
- Caring about what others think..... (really good to go on that one)
- Never taking risks (Possibly negligible risks as a teenager and financial ones as a young adult)
- Bad relationships (guilty of a few.. learning experiences..some much longer than others)
- Not traveling (Travel has never been a priority on my bucket list. I like home!)
- Not spending time with parents (wish I had had more)
- Not quitting (I generally knew when to quit and when to hang in there..... this is a toughie)
- Realizing your beauty (Ehh... Beauty was never an important thing to me.... I'll take intelligence and humor over beauty any day)
I have a couple of other regrets that are best left untold. Some could still be rectified but to the good of the whole, better just left as is!
Fortunately, I have never had the stress of not saying what I think or doing what I should. I have some disappointments but they have little to do with regrets.....we all do. Life is short and looking back won't help now. I impart what little wisdom I have and hope that those within earshot listen. That I do not regret!
