Hello
everyone,
The other night I snuck into my puter room and turned on my radio to try to
listen to the Avalanche hockey game, but to my surprise the regular Denver
station had a man on commentary that was asking people to call in and talk to
him.
He was talking about how he had deleted all his email on outlook express and was
sad that he had lost almost all of them to his mistake of not really realizing
that once he poked that yes to all, it took them off his computer. He
talked a time of being so smart that he hated himself for being stupid with such
a technical machine as a computer, but hopefully someone who was computer smart
would tell him how to save his mail without losing it forever. He
stated that he had a letter from his Dad on his home computer that was written
to him right before he died, and wanted to insure that he never lost that and
kept it from being accidentally deleted from his files.
So, that evening, he chose the topic of what do you regret in life. He
stated that by calling in and sharing the regret that he hoped that those
listening would learn from the experiences of others, rather than be the person
with the regrets. While people were dialing up the station, he ambled on a
bit about how he was now engaged but found that most of his friends said they
regretted being married for various reasons.
The first caller came on and tried to tell him that his marriage of 21 years was
the best of all worlds and that his friends were not giving a true picture of
marriage. The man at the station though instead of taking it with the
grain of salt became very defensive and stated that he knew he would be
challenged to meet a person like him who only came to cause havoc on his program
and cut him off short. After that he was amiable if they listened to his
woes of how he destroyed his own files and was concerned of their regrets as
stated, but it got me thinking here. lolol Now now, don't be that way, I
know it is dangerous when I think on this end.
When I first heard him say call me with your regrets I sort of froze up here,
because in actuality when I started to look backwards I cannot say that I have
any regrets in my life. I had some disappointments when I found out I was
not all that, and made some tacky choices but overall, if I said I had regrets
does that not make me defeat today? I would love to be a zillionaire, but
I do not regret that my mind did not figure out how to cheat people to be that
millionaire. I would love to be healthy, but had I not had my health
problems, I might not have sought to help others, let alone challenge myself to
not fit into any set pattern of things that I refuse to do in life. I
would love to be about 7 feet tall, so that my weight would classify me as
skinny, but it ain't gonna happen lolol.
I used to regret that my Dad could not say he was proud of me or say he loved
me, but in the end I knew that I did not need that assurance to become me.
I used to regret that others did not take time to see through my walls to say
they loved me, until I found out it was not something I was missing but
something they lacked. I used to envy strong people until the darkness
showed they are weaker than me.
I regret loving my pets so intensly that I was not able at times to give them
the love they gave me. I regret ever raising a hand to either of my
children and wish I had been a more perfect mother. But I will never
regret their creations, because they have come very far even with what I lacked
as skills. I guess if I were totally honest I do have some regrets that I
can never go backwards to fix, but overall I would have to say I have none, for
if my life did not have meaning, I would not be here today.
I would like you all to take some time now and share with us your regrets if you
have any. Not because we wish to na na na you, but if just one message
changes any person reading this and helps them not make our mistakes, then it
proves that sharing our foibles is worth the effort.
When my writings hit the website, it is not just you and I, it is the world that
either takes up the slack or ignores it. Personally, I don't wish fame but
can't shut up most days. The site is not actually mine but all of yours as
you share it with me each time I put your posts on it.
We all, have something to share with the world to help it right now refocus and
improve the realm we live in. So feel free to do me this week and as you
post it to me I will share with others and eventually the world.
Don't worry about your names, etc. because there are zillions of Peggys there
lolol.
Spencer has done some house cleaning with his car and wishes to share it with
you tonight so I will give you that link in this writing. Also Sheliah has
sent me a terrific Midi file which is attached to this email for us to enjoy and
I will insert the poem with talking about angels.
I hope you enjoy all of this entry.
Loads of love to all, Peggy
