What do you do with your regrets?
| Wed, 09-08-2004 - 10:31pm |
I have been filled lately with the emotion of deep regret and guilt and I would like to know how some of you handle this. I am not very good at just putting things behind me. My husband says to just wake up and make it a new day. How is this done? I wish I knew. I have wasted most of the last twenty years regretting some of the life altering decisions I have made. How do I pick up and move on when the reminders are around me everyday? Thanks for your help. Hugs, Brenda

Actually, I have talked with Caly a lot about this. I go through periods when I wonder if I knew as a young person what I know now would I have made different choices. Yes, I would have made some different choices but for the most part I wouldn't have. The things I did got me to where I am today and that is to a life filled with happiness and love. I can sit and dwell on my regrets, but really, where does that get me? I can't change my past. All I can do now is move forward with confidence and goals because now I really know what I want. I know how hard it is to let go of those regrets, and I think some of them do need to be processed fully in order to be able to lock them away forever. I finally told myself that I was letting life get away from me by not living in the moment, however. I don't want to lose the one chance I have at finding happiness.
Big hugs to you. (((((((((((((Brenda))))))))))))

This is what has helped and does help (for me): Writing, faith and knowing that "you're never too old to become what you might have been" (don't know

I wish there was something I could tell you that would "help" - I do believe that God has put stumbling blocks in my life to teach me things - and sometimes those lessons are impossible to see until long after, sometimes those lessons aren't visible until another stumbling block comes along.
Hugs, Brenda
