ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie ....there were times when you could turn back the hands of time? When you could change what you said....what someone assumed what you meant....even though that isn't what you said (or meant)....aren't there times when you wish you could have turned the tide.....? (Like....forever?). Sure I do. I think everyone does. But I've come to a place in life where I just trust everything works out exactly as it should, and then I don't worry about it anymore. I could pull out the big stuff and say I wish I hadn't gotten married when I did, or I wish I had learned who I was early, or etc etc etc, but what does that get me? I'm here. Now. Today. What am I gonna do with today? And for the foot in mouth stuff, well, if I ever feel I shouldn't have said something, I apologize for it and try to make it right. Then it's up to the other guy and out of my hands. I do the best I can. Sometimes it's awesome and sometimes it sucks, but it's just me. When I screw up, I forgive myself for it. When I do good I applaud myself for it. Mostly, though, I focus on the present. So instead of spending energy regretting something, I figure out what I can take from it to do better tomorrow.
