No Regrets

A few weeks ago Jonah and I looked each other in the eye, and I saw how good he looks after twenty years of marriage. I wonder what he saw, ‘she has to wash that grey right out of her hair’?

 We unanimously decided from now on, no more regrets.  We’ve got at least thirty years of good health in front of us.  We’ve got a lifetime worth of experience behind us .

 If I look back now, there’s regrets.  Choices that I’ve made, things that I could have done very differently.  Opportunities missed, stubbornness, hurts, forgiveness.  While my mind wanders down the lonely roads of the past my heart says stop.  Keep the vault door closed, you’ve had a good life.

From now on – NO MORE REGRETS. 

I’ll have to learn to listen more to my heart and turn down the volume of my reason.  That first thought that comes through your mind is most probably the correct answer.

So honey, we are going to buy that 80’s Mercedes campervan!
