Regrets

I used to say that I never wanted to have any regrets.  This was many years ago.

Lately I've been reflecting on things and I've discovered that I do live with regrets.

There was a time when I wanted to be a graphic designer.  I wanted to go to school in Colorado.  I wanted to live an exciting life and experience new things.

I wanted to be successful.  I had big hopes for myself.

Funny, life didn't play out that way.

My biggest regret was not taking that chance to go and do those things.  I held back because I just didn't believe that I could.

My second biggest regret was no finishing what I started.  I ended up going to college locally and majored in economics.  I left my senior year with about 16 credits to go.

Once I had kids, I always told them that having an education is important.  Once you have it, no one can take that away from you.

My son is now an engineer and my daughter is planing on becoming a veterinarian. 

But what kind of example am I setting?

An opportunity presented itself so I am seizing it.  

Currently I am going after my degree in economics.

I may not be able to right everything that I regret but I can tick one off the list.

Life it just too short to live with regret.
