I thought wishing you would have been nicer to me, would've been one of your regrets?There are some legitimate regrets I have now that I am on the downhill side of my life and the end is closer than the beginning.
Looking back I wish I had done some things better.
I wish I had been more adventurous and put in the effort to make some things happen that I postponed too long or gave up on too early.
I wish I had been more mature in some situations that needed a grown up and I wasn't willing to be one.
I wish I had parented better, been a more attentive neighbor, been a better friend, been less selfish and more of a positive influence. I wish I could take back many words that I said. I wish I had opportunity to say things that I should have said.
I wish I had taken better care of myself mentally, physically, and spiritually.
I wish I had started more things that I intended to do and finished more things that I started.
But, all in all, the time behind us cannot be retrieved and we are given few opportunities for do-overs in this lifetime. But we each have today and whatever time is left to do it better.
