Re: Regrets

With the meds I have been on over the past 17yrs I don't think I would be doing art now my hands are to shaky at times, maybe a story or to but my concentration is way off these days as well.

Re: Regrets

Ahhhh...the lovely Walkers Brothers! Saw them in concert at our local cinema, when they did a spate of the 60s bands. I'd bought a poster of the trio, and when I told one of our group of girls that I'd seen one of them stick his head out of a window, she squealed excitedly, gripped my poster in her hand, pulled it...and ripped it in half!!!! It wasn't Scott or John, but the other one.

Re: Regrets

No, no regrets Apricot....

It's no good thinking 'I could have been a somebody'
We are what we are, and everything we've done in life [or not done] has brought us to this place now.

Re: Regrets

I think my main regret was not pursuing my original passion of being a commercial pilot.
I will always regret that I think.

Re: Regrets

Me too. Maths was my worst subject. I started off ok but totally lost it when we were being taught how to add triangles to circles. I remember my times table because we were made to say it every morning at primary school.

I sometimes regret not trying harder though.

Old Grey Fox's post reminds me of a beautiful song by Don McLean which I first heard many years ago.

As OGF says "It's no good thinking 'I could have been a somebody'

Re: Regrets

I wish I'd have had the brains to have trained as a veterinary nurse.
I should have worked at it, but I got married and settled down too young, instead.

Maybe I wouldn't have been bright enough, but I regret not having tried.

Re: Regrets

You can only regret stuff you had control over, you have to assign the rest.
