That’s true, which is why regret is not having found employment that optimizes my talents. Spending life doing mediocre work, when you might have done good work, is no way to live.
However, since I’m not family oriented, I would have had to spend my time somehow and I would have wanted to work where I could shine.
Sad if we die with regrets.
Since my dear wife died in February, 2022 (we were in love from 1973 to then) I of course wish every minute I wasted could be back with her being happy again. Can’t happen. She’d probably have said “Can’t you go somewhere, you’re always under foot.” Maybe not.
I have so many regrets but try to remind myself we are not allowed on this earthly plane to have time travel and go back and make everything just right.
The world needs shoeshine boys, too.
Thank you for your service!
Regards,
