What does it take for you to have regrets? Do you have to learn a painful lesson? Does someone close to you have to hurt or be hurt before it sinks in that you could have done things differently? No one really knows until it happens to them. Like most negative aspects in life, it will blindside side you with little warning.
I recently discovered that I have some issues with my heart. I have not learned all the details yet, and the apprehension does nothing to improve matters. I do not know where it will take me in the near future, but it has made me begin to think. What could I have done differently? Who could I have loved better? Why does it have to take a painful, potentially life changing illness to make me think of such things?
We would all be happier people if we live every moment like it was our last. Love our family and friends like we may not see them tomorrow. Enjoy life and do all the things we have always wanted to do. Don’t wait until the regret kicks in and makes you feel nauseous and heavy in the heart. Live was meant to be lived, not regretted. Kiss your children more. Hug your brother or sister every time you see them, not just on their birthday. If the winds of the Summerland blow through your life, leave only love and footprints.
This is a beautiful blog entry, I love the way you’ve worded it. And I hope that you living life to the fullest makes you as healthy as you can possibly be. Blessed be!
