Day 4 - 23 -- Regrets?

Regrets? Getting through life without some decision that causes guilt or lament is rare. It often enters one's mind as the "would-a, could-a, should-a" phraseology. Learning to put these actions in the past and moving forward becomes important if one is to live in the present -- missing what is happening every day would be a true regret. I guess what it comes down to is learning to forgive oneself -- likely on par or even more difficult than forgiving others. Coming to terms with our life choices requires that we realize that we are human and as such, prone to being less than perfect.

Many songs speak to regret, either acknowledging that some existed in the past or that no regrets exist. Each comes from a different philosophical approach to life. A recent commercial includes a song about a type of regret. The lyrics speak to what might have been, yet there is a hint of not feeling regret but having moved on to make new life experiences.It caught my attention due to the unique vocals that are plaintive in places. It tells me that I need to work to add more firsts to life when they present themselves. It may say something different to you <smile>. Enjoy!
