Rather than ask if someone has any regrets, it might be more enlightening to ask to if someone wishes they had done something differently in their life. It’s a fine distinction, but an important one. It’s very difficult to regret decisions we have made at the time, because most of us make the best decision we can. Hindsight might bring about a different take or realization, but at the moment I don’t know many people who actively and intentionally make poor decisions, so how you can ever regret that? 

Maybe this isn’t such a tiny thread after all. To be continued?

Growing up is coming to the sad realization that neither cock fights nor penal law are as fun as they may sound.

“Positive people are not positive because they’ve skated through life. They’re positive because they’ve been through hell and decided they don’t want to live there anymore.”  — Mona Lisa Nyman

Saying out loud that I wrenched my neck when I was pulling out tree roots is proof positive that I have crossed irrevocably over the hump of middle age – all that’s left is the downhill doldrums. Somebody get me a heating pad.

“Remember when you wanted what you currently have.”

Words can lead to joy if you let them.

This may be more true than I care to acknowledge. 

Virgos… we are the worst astrological sign.

For the most part, I am happily immune to FOMO.

(Fear Of Missing Out.)

To those who are afflicted, it must be awful.

It just seems like such a tortured way to live, and a sure way to regret in some way, shape or form. 

Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention, and FOMO won’t be affecting my life to add to those few blips. 

Make your choices, then make the most of them. 

Most of the people I know who suffer from FOMO on a regular basis are mostly miserable. Rather than face it and address it head-on, they’ll do anything and everything to distract and pretend it’s all good. I get tired just watching them.

Do not press down on the serrated knife. 

Let it do the work it was designed to do.

Putting away your vacation sun hat and travel neck pillow is one of life’s sadder moments. 

Putting away the luggage may be even sadder.

Saw an inspirational bumper sticker that really spoke to me the other day: If at first you don’t succeed, maybe you just suck.

Once upon a childhood I named our cat ‘Fluff’. 

It tracks.

Trust me, it tracks. 

(And I never even had a fluffer-nutter sandwich.)

I recall more commercial jingles from my childhood than actual songs. And yes, I find myself still singing them. 

“Hey look, there’s a look that’s in style, live wires, live wires!”

Career goals: luxuriating in bed. Also, making up words that offer new ways to do nothing.
