I very seldom delete something I've written, but in this case I felt I had to. I had started off the concept of that blog with the word "regret" and the truth is, I don't have any regrets.
I've learned lessons by the multitudes.
Some of them lightly sat on my shoulder and guided me, some of them smacked me in the face and stopped me dead in my tracks and the rest of them snuck up behind me when I wasn't looking and
pushed me over a cliff. The height and terrain of the cliff varied, depending on the situation.
I'm not one to head advice, especially if I haven't asked for it ... and I probably never will be.
I'm not one to accept an answer or an idea just because it has been "the way"
for generations and generations ... and I probably never will be.
That tends to upset apple carts ...
However, no regrets. Not one.
...and there really IS a HumDINGER of a Blog about Lessons in the Works!
