Too many to list. Main one - I would have spent more time with my parents.

I would treat people much better and come to Jesus much earlier in life.

I would have taken that bet on Trump. I could have gotten 10:1.

I would not have started smoking, drinking, and using illegal drugs.

That is selfish of me though — I met my wife at an AA meeting. Without meeting her, neither of my wonderful children would have existed.

Really, it was a broken road that got me to where I am now, and though I do have some regrets, bottom line is that this is the road race that God gave to run. I hope I have pleased Him in how I ran it and keep running it still.

Not really. Because I wouldn’t be who I am now if life were different

I’d have changed two numbers on that Lotto ticket where I matched 4 out of 6 numbers. :)

Well, to start I wish I had bet on Miss Rosie to win in the 4th race at Fair Grounds in NOLA back in ‘68 at 40-1...

I would have sat down at the age of six and insisted that my parents get me schooled in Latin and Spanish and any other language around. I would love to be able to speak four or five languages. I guess actually though I would want to know Jesus sooner.

In a life where death is the hunter, there is no time for regrets, only decisions. -I don’t recall the author of this quote.

I do not regret the things I have done in life (68 years), I only regret the things I never tried.

I wouldn’t have sold the hand carved mahogany antique bedroom suite I inherited from my grandmother. I would have spent more time with my kids instead of working long hours to get ahead.

Nothing, too many people would get hurt or never exist in the first place. I own it, even the bad stuff.

Okay, not told my wife where I stashed the silver Eagles that she saw as a personal Plan B, instead of a family plan A.

I should have chosen the redhead instead of the blond. I should have learned French and German and gotten that phD.
