Hello Ciderguy: Thank you for sharing this. I'm in my mid 60's & also have many regrets. I wrote in another reply earlier today that, somehow, I turned out to be someone I would not want to have anything to do with if I were another person. I often think to myself that I hope I could have been considered to have been mentally ill all of my life because, if this is not the case, then it just means I was a bad seed. Regrets? Oh yes, I have a cargo ship full of them. And, of course, you're correct, we can't go back. And, at this late stage in my life, there's nothing I can do about any of it. So I simply try to live in the moment. And I pretty-much just keep to myself. I know that anyone who really knew me would not want to have anything to do with me. And I don't really get along with other people well. So I just save everyone the trouble & keep to myself. It is my gift to the world. I send you wishes for deep peace.
