Regrets Only

No, you have not been blessed with an invitation to a party from which you can only extricate yourself by talking to the host. I'm talking about regret. There are two types. Regret for past actions and regret for inaction. When you're young you might concentrate on trying to clean up your messes that come from youthful exuberance and a little alcohol. And no matter how bad your behavior, as long as no one loses an eye or worse, you can always accept it as a learning experience.

Real regret comes from not doing something; not pursuing a dream, an object, a passion, a situation. I think about that a lot these days. Just don't want to pull into the terminal at the end of the trip and think that there were a few stops I should have made on the way. Must be getting reflective as I ripen.
