Could be. I know that those simple words pulled me up from my darkest days.

Sort of a be comfortable with oneself concept.

I wish I'd kept in touch with my old friends. I've moved a lot in my life, and it's hard to maintain those ties.

It's really tough to stay in one spot when you are wanted for felonies in nine different states.

Regrets?

I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Dude!

"I know you're dying and all, but you would mind taking a few moments to fill out this survey?"

Regrets?

Agreed.

None of the five mentioned, as of this post, would be a regret of mine.

5 Things People Regret On Their Deathbed - Business Insider

Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying."

Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."

What are your regrets?

I probably should not have gone back and picked up my ex-wife when she got so drunk she fell out of the boat trying to light a cigarette as I was crossing a lake full speed.

Something made me look back, and there was her little knot-******* head, bobbing, a mile from anything.
