Never Regret

Very Very Tired · Senior Member

I never regret the time I spend swinging on the swing set with my kids.

I never regret the first cup of coffee in the morning.

I never regret the time I spend cooking a Thanksgiving dinner (my favorite holiday!).

I am learning never to regret my past that prompted me to find a better way to live (thanks for this reminder!).

And, I, too, never regret brushing and flossing. And I never regret that root canal that convinced me I never want another one!

I loved! this post! I hope more people respond because I would welcome seeing other people's lists. Here's mine:

I never regret taking risks to see the world (lived overseas as an army brat when I was young, traveled abroad during college, recently got on the plane again for a conference in Puerto Rico).

I never regret investing in my education (B.A., 2 M.A.s and now a Ph.D.)

I never regret opening my heart to love again.

I never regret choosing to reconnect with my dad (after a messy divorce and a 15 year seperation) even though ultimately it did not work out well.

I never regret learning how to swim, canoing, or going kayaking for the first time this summer or visiting the beach any time of the year.

I never regret spending what I call spacious time--time that is wide open could be lying on a lawn in the sun or reading a good book or journaling.

I never regret the time I've invested in my spiritual journey including hours at the laundry mat where I read religious literature left on the tables, tons of Alanon meetings, and meetings with a spiritual teacher who has been a great source of guidance.

I never regret being open hearted and open minded.
