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.

I think I will invent time travel. :)

This life is a practice run for eternity. Nothing that we accomplish or don’t accomplish means anything.

As long as you are learning lessons that you can use in eternity, it’s all for gain. I do keep that in mind.

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.
