There are always reasons why, Fin, and as you say, there is always two or more ways out. And you have the answer to that my friend. Harry

Sometimes a lady overloads herself. Thank you, Harry, I always appreciate your comments. Always :) Fin

I suppose there’s another way of looking at this Fin, it’s probably easier to forgive oneself if one got away with whatever one done, but I’m sure that’s not your message here! Go easy on yourself, I agree, Cheers David

Wisely said, Fin. Regrets can bring a lot of misery. Past decisions cannot be changed, but we can learn from them, and some can also be remedied. ~ Regards // paul

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love. 2 John 1:3 NIV ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ Acts 17:28 NIV Amen, that's why Christ came to create within a new living being to be set free of these chains to this world, keep moving forward not listening to the misery you have been set free of : )

Aw, Mystic, you’re a doll, and I’m so much fat from being wise. I think I’ve made so much mistakes in my days that are coming back and haunting me. I’m trying though to move on. Thank you, dear :)

Perhaps a combination of both would help.
