"Nobody says on their deathbed I wish I had spent more hours at the office."

But what they say at the funeral of the one that was lazy!

I have an older sister that often seems to regret the choices she made. After we spent several days together one time, I’d had enough of her negativity, and immediately scheduled another trip to help me gain some perspective.

On the next trip, I very much learned to appreciate the PRESENT. The
PRESENT is a magnificent GIFT we are given each and every day. There are no guarantees of more days ahead, so appreciate today.

Fewer regrets, the way I see it.

Also, I meant to say, I’m sorry about your wife. That must be really really hard.

[Zathras]

I didn’t see that coming…
I need to ketchup.

[Mears]

True…I am 91……..very few regrets .

“What we Don’t accomplish,or Do,
Is equally meaningless in Eternity.”

Can I quote That?

"Let's input your destination time to just before you stepped on THAT landmine of your life!"

[Big Red Badger]

My dad’s last words were;
“Wish I had more Time.”

[Big Red Badger]

The Present butts up to ETERNITY.
The past is Sealed and Future is unknown.

Please do.

My career was in agriculture, I was a single father and I made my job my life. At the time I didn’t know any better but that was a huge and hurtful mistake. We don’t get do overs in this life and I regret not knowing that my daughter needed more of my attention. More codling and spending more time with her as she was growing up I’m sure would have made my relationship with her today much closer. I’m now paying for that mistake, she’s 49 yo and won’t have anything to do with me. My ignorance and my irresponsibility as a a father has cost me everything in this life that I love. Now I’m 74 yo and I just wish I had known then what I know now.

Your only regret would be you didn’t put the right ones in the ground..... too many Daft dodgers run the country now.....

[FamiliarFace]

I agree.

Godspeed mate...you are doing great! It’s amazing how, as we grow older, that inside in our minds we still feel and think like a helluva lot younger! (About 13 in my case!) That is, as long as we don’t have a rotten Swiss cheese brain like you know who! Keep plugging and stay well, theres’s a bunch right behind and with you!👍

“Inner peace is undervalued in our society.”

That’s because no one will let you have it. Everyone expects you to live their life dramas so you are constantly living other’s ulcers.

I’m sure you explained ,
Perhaps apologized....
Mine disowned me on Father’s day...
.still no particular reasons!?!
They were drunk..
Who knows-——on Them.

I regret ordering the soup. The salad was the better choice.

That’s a pretty c—p poem.

I can’t believe that came from him, but it did, as I looked it up.

It’s a sad lament, but it talks of someone with huge regrets from having made his own decisions.

I am very fortunate I have a wonderful wife.
