Old article, but interesting as I approach 70.

None of these 5 match my regrets. But if I could go back and fix my regrets but it would change where I am now, I would not do it. I am blessed and lucky where I am.

If you like what you do #2 is less of an issue. I really don’t want to stop, maybe change where I am but not the job.

I regret not keeping up piano. My tried her hardest to get me to keep it going, but I didn’t enjoy it and quit. Mom always said it was a great joy in later life and she was right. She was a wonderful pianist.

We’ve lost our way not making our own music and singing together as friends.

Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention.

But that’s Heinz sight

My only regrets are not putting bodies deeper in the ground. Our country will suffer because of my regrets.

Five Top Death Bed Regrets:

1. The mattress on my death bed is too firm. It's like lying on a board!

2. The mattress on my death bed is too soft. I feel like I'm sinking in quicksand!

3. The mechanism that raises the head of my bed no longer works. I should have had it looked into earlier.

4. All the numbers and words on the remote control for my adjustable bed are all worn off. I don't know how to shut off the annoying massage feature.

5. I shouldn't have kept the California King. The replacement sheets are too expensive and if I end up at the center of the bed it takes me forever to get to the edge and get up.

3. Wishing you had the courage to express your feelings

Me and Frank Costanza have no problem with this.

I work with elderly, dying people. None of these are ever mentioned. What I do know is all that remains are your children and family.

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.

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