No Regrets

I have always liked this song and actually found it while scanning my CD colelction for any songs that mention rain. Yes it rained all night. While I do love the sound of rain on the roof, it was cold. This is summer... or not as it seems. So I found the CD and started reading words from the different songs. Here it is, a little classic Tom Cochrane and a good song to remind us of how we should live life.



I will admit that I am still feeling down today. But not so much as yesterday. I find that there is too much to distract me. Which is good. Playing with the dogs. Putting pics into facebook, tidying, looking at pics of my neice to scrapbook, making chicken noodle soup from scratch. I just try to be aware of when I feel a little unhinged. I When my lived away for a period of time, the first time, I had pretty much all the signs of depression. I just never went to get help about it. So when he went away again before we got married I tried very hard to be aware of those feelings and have a plan in place. I fall into those cycles periodically but don't want to feel like I did then. It was such a dark place to be and really wasted so much time I could have been putting energy into something else. But as the songs says no regrets... so there was a lesson learned if only I pay attention to it.

I have friends who talk about growing up and having regrets about the things that did or didn't do. I have found that there are things that I should have shouldn't have done. But I don't regret them, because they all combined to make me the person that I am. I am not perfect, and I do things that aren't always the best but, we are all that way and just have to strive to do a little better and make situations we create better as time allows.

Today I am thankful for my family and friends, for afternoon naps, dill pickles, my dogs who can be irritating but also make you smile, for my cat who is snobby but last night decided that I needed a long purr filled cuddle, and rainy days.
