Did you really 'make a mess of things' or did you have impossibly high standards? Most people make a mess of quite a lot of their lives, but there is much that it is possible to be quietly satisfied with. However what is done is done and to quote Winston Churchill: We must just KBO ('Keep Buggering On').
Thanks for this!
