Regret....

Ahhhh regret. By definition:
re·gret /rɪ--grɛt/
–verb (used with object)
1. to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.) - dictionary.com

Have you ever truly regretted something in your life? I often ask myself this question.... There are definitely moments in my life where regret floated above my head like a dark cloud. But, regret is really just not taking responsibility for our actions. I know I am not perfect. I am bound to do things that I never imagined doing. But to throw it all away to regret and not learn from why we make the decisions we do is just cowardice. So, now as I find that dark cloud looming above my head, I try my best to remember a little something about regret.....

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable." - Sydney Smith
