Top Ten "Regrets" Thurs. 6/11/09

I've been thinking about a lot of things in the last few weeks & as usual, the regrets come to mind.

Now I've heard several people say they have none.  I find that extremely hard to believe, but hey. 

I have a few regrets about quite a few things & since y'all are my people I can share it with you.  {Can't do FB for reason mentioned in another discussion.}

1. Having sex way too soon & getting knocked up shortly after.  No before you burn me at the stake, I don't regret giving life, I do regret indulging in the process long before I should have...if that makes sense.

2. Letting my grandfather take most of his 88 years of knowledge & wisdom to the grave because I was too busy doing me to stop & listen.

3. Not being a tad bit more patient with my long-distance love before giving up.  I truly believe he is my soul-mate.

4. Being too busy trying to further career to give my son whatever it was he was missing.  I hate that I had to work & couldn't be there for him like my mom & grandparents were for me - 24/7.  Funny how now he says, he understands & doesn't blame me.   Wow......

5.  Not making my BFF go home instead of letting her convince me to attend a party were she was raped (when we were teens).

6.  Not telling my mother how sorry I was if my funky attitude towards her male friends caused her any form of loneliness/unhappiness.  Ma, I now know better.

7.  Not sitting in that kitchen with Muda to learn her trade kitchen secrets.  She kept her info in her head, not a book.

8.  Hmmmm...guess I don't have 10...and that could be a good thing!

Toodles!
