Today, in my unsuccesful search for a clean conscience, I stumbled across the following passage in my reading. Unfortunately the passage is not attributed to anyone so I don't know who originally penned it but I know this; copyright be damned, it was penned to share:
"You will never be sorry -
For thinking before acting,
For hearing before judging,
For forgiving your enemies,
For being candid and frank,
For helping a fallen brother,
For being honest in business,
For thinking before speaking,
For being loyal to your church,
For standing by your principles,
For stopping your ears to gossip,
For bridling a slanderous tongue,
For harboring pure thoughts,
For sympathizing with the afflicted,
For being courteous and kind to all"
and one more I would like to add; you'll never be sorry for making friends......
Me with Cousin Randolph, year unknown, Mexico, Maine

Me with Pastor Dan, Mid-90s, Myrtle Beach, SC

Me wwith my daughter and her mom (the one true true love of my life, i miss her so). Baltimore 1992.

Me and my bestest friend Richard, 1979. Richard doesn't much care for me now.

Regrets are meant to remind us not to do the things that lead to them again. They are not meant for dwelling on and spoiling today and all our tomorrows.
