Sunday Scribblings "Regrets"
Things you wish you'd said or not said?
Things you want to be sure to do and say now
so that you don't end up with regrets?
"Regrets I’ve had a few"
Lyrics from ”My Way”
Not catching the weight
Before it escalated out of control
Feeling that youthful angst
to be loved
Chasing dead end dreams
Harboring intimate feelings for one,
While with another
Loving men too much in my youth
And too little now
Not marrying a man who dances
Staying married too long
To a grumpy man
Not having more kids
Not understanding my mother
Before I became wise
Giggling during funerals
and other uncomfortable moments
Being too blunt, too submissive, too undecided
Not finding the artist within much sooner
Breaking connections with certain friends
Wasting energy in the pursuit of being right
Being less physical,
Coveting things with no substance
Striving for perfection
Making petty judgments
Keeping and having too much stuff
with no sentiment of love
Not plucking my eyebrows sooner
Ever using a credit card!

I enjoyed reading this post. Quite a list of regrets you have there! This is funny and not funny at the same time: "Giggling during funerals". Also, I think you might find this to be not a regret at the end of the day: "Striving for perfection".
before i even read on i have to tell you that that song is exactly what comes to mind first every time i hear that word!!!!
if you have the time and read thru some of the ss entries you will find that guys seem to have the ability to say,, "hey,, if i didn't have the regrets i have,,, i'd have other ones..."
i really liked that theory... i am owning it .....
Phew Giggles, this is candid and confessional, love the bit about giggling during funerals, whoops!
Although my six-word post seems to indicate otherwise, I'm so not one to regret a thing. I hope you don't actually regret all of these so much as acknowledge, yeah, some of it happened.
Nicely done, putting it to that song.
how well you've grabbed some universal regrets --- great list which shows me how connected we all are at some level --- reassuring in an odd sort of way!!!
I think I've had these, too. You've written such an honest look at regret - I love it... And the 'I'm no angel' angel is adorable...
regrets? there are some people I wish I had been nicer to over the years!
beautiful reminder of possibility....
awww giggling at funerals is one of the things i love about u!!
great look back but i know you don't let these get u down! and that's doing it
Your way!
love that song!
What a great choice! XXOO
