SGT (Join to see) Capt Dwayne Conyers SFC Shirley Whitfield Cynthia Croft There is no doubt that people that are holding onto regrets, seek out others that are doing the same. "Victims" need the company of other victims to make them feel secure in their brokenness. They can't feel good about themselves as long as they feel regret, after all who is really to blame for the decision, action, or outcome they regret? Regret is personal, so they are a victim of their own conscience. By associating with other victims of regret they feel supported in their regret.

We are not victims, EVER; in every circumstance we have a choice and it is ours to make. Hold a gun to my head and in that moment I will be faced with a choice, is what your asking me to do more, or less important to me than life. Things happen, great plans go badly; bad plans turn out to be successful. We do what we can to plan, prepare and make choices, it won't always work out well...that's life. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, dump the past (good, or bad; heck you really don't know anyway) and move on. Sun comes up tomorrow and as long as you have breath, every moment is a new opportunity to think, plan, or do something great.

I have travelled all over the US and the world; I have taken no pictures. I am in pictures others have taken, but for me I was living in that moment...it is past. I carry what I value forward in my worldview and leave what is not worth carrying behind.

Apply the first rule of Italian driving to anything you might regret...

Cynthia Croft - thanks for the kind words; I agree, kids...grandkids are the best. And yes, there are so many amazing things to see and experience in this world; I have hated sleep since I was a kid and loved my time in Alaska in the summer...24 hour days with just a couple naps. Wish the day was 36 hours, and weeks were 10 days long and the year had 18 months and life was 1000 years. Then I might scratch the surface of what I am interested in doing, seeing, learning.

Cynthia Croft - you may not enjoy it very much in the winter though. It was strange seeing kids walking to school in pitch black with flashlights thinking what are they doing up at this hour and realizing it was 0745.
