Final thought for 2007.
It's hideous. I'm 23 1/2 half, and I've hit that point in my life where I've started having regrets. Wishing I could turn back the clock and handle things differently.

Still though, that gave way to another thought: No, you can't go back to the past and do it again. stop pining for it. Are you making the most of your current time? When you look back at this moment in your life, will you be able to say you used it how you liked to?

It's trite. It's a cliche. but sometimes, it takes a unique moment in your life to appreciate it. It's helped me do something I've been meaning to do for a long time. To take a goal in my life, and make it go from being a "one day" to a "today." So, that's good.

I turned 27 in October and regularly have regret attacks. Follow Lear's advice and say "that way madness lies" before turning your head away.

I ALWAYS second guess myself. I have often thought if there is a Heaven and I go to it I would like to relive my life knowing everything I do now and make the right decisions. It's crazy but that's what getting older will do to you.

Part of me suspects heaven is a little bit like the Nexus from Star Trek: Generations. You would get to go back and examine different possibilities regarding your life.

I started to have those feelings around the time I graduated from college. I guess early 20's does that to you. You've got the right attitude, though. If you live a life of regret, you're going to regret the time you wasted regretting things, and then you'd never catch up with yourself! Best just to learn from your mistakes and move on to new goals.

Here's hoping. I've gotten more writing done this past month than previously, so I'm hopeful.

Writing is good. Have you heard about Zuda, by the way?
