Regrets


I took this picture more than a week ago during my morning walk.
I buy some wonderful cards with quotes on them from Cards by Anne, so I am on her email list.  Today Anne wrote about the five most common regrets that a hospice nurse said that she has heard from patients in their last days:
I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me (most common)
I wish I hadn't worked so hard (every single male patient and some females)
I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends.
I wish I'd let myself be happier.
