One Man's Journey

So I just wondered today how many bad choices I made that effected the ones I love. Recently I made a rash decision that effected friends and family. Jump take it, no I should have held to the plan and waited. Well at least that is what I am telling myself. Why has my planning been so great so far. NO I have made 3 to 1 bad to good decisions. I am over 50 and still have no hope of ever retiring. I will work up till the day I die. I have to there is always somebody I owe, or somebody to pay.

You try and live your life to make a better life for your family and you look and say did I really make it better for them? I do not think so. So I live with that every freaking day of my life. Where did I make the first wrong turn ? Can I trace it all the way back to my decision on high school ? Maybe I should have gone to Tech. Then I would have had a trade. I also would have had a better chance to make a few bucks along the way. Nope let's work retail. 50 - 80 hours a week, nights, weekends, holidays. That will make for a great family life. Sure, you'll be there for your wife and kids. NOT.

Regret, it is a painful reminder that you should have, made a better life for your family, and that you made too many bad decisions due to a poorly thought out plan.

Sure I made some good decisions, marrying my wife, having two great kids together, making sure I got to know my dad before it was too late, and getting back in touch with friends who reminded me of how good we had it once.

Oh well, that is my ramble for now. may you be granted the wisdom to learn quickly and correct those choices that will not help you.

You have a great life and I am happy to be part of it. Everyone makes mistakes...I have added mine to yours. But we have each other for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I am lucky to have you, I love you always.

We cannot control what life throws at us...we can only control how we respond. We are all doing the best we can and that is enough. You are enough. {{hugs}}
