Regrets?

Been eating a lot of porrage recently and with chrimbo coming up thinking about my mum. When my mum was dying of cancer I made her some porrage. I put plenty of salt in it but she wanted more so I topped it up until it had around a tablespoon of salt in it, still she wanted more but I said no, she had enough. What was I thinking? That it would be bad for her?





shoot. Seriously. I have my music playing on the lap-top on shuffle.
When my brother and I drove my mum's coffin to her funeral we played Stairway to heave all the way on repeat, loud. I sat reading the above paragraph and as I went to press the send button Stairway to Heaven came on. Shitting hell. That's fricking spooky.

You can get positives from regrets (does that make sense?)
Some of you may know, my brother died suddenly earier this year, aged 45. His health had been wierd for two years, but no-one seemed to be able to put a finger on it. So many doctors, specialists, wild diagnoses that changed from month to month...and he was a bit of a prankster and also liked to play things up a bit (not his health particually, but things in general)

To my regret, i very often thought he was playing it up. He was always reluctant to go to the docs, would never ask searching questions of them, and would always play it down. It never seemed to feel right. He was too evasive when pressed.

With hindsight, i think he was scared. I regret that...deepy.

Anyway, the positive...i dont question peoples motives anymore. If someones ill, i tell em get to the docs, and dont take shoot from them.

Too deep...it's your fault for asking Mickle :biggrin:

Mickle, you have probably seen this before, but don't have to be religious to appreciate the message in it.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

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

Too much regret is unhealthy. To bastardise a well-known Marxist aphorism: regret only interprets your behaviour. The point is, to change it.

Or, Look forward more than you look back.
