some people are prone to acting impulsively all to often, They are the ones that have the most regrets, Its nice to own a balance. I loved your poem Susan, have a great day, Hugs

That definitely happens at times. Hopefully not all turn out that way, perhaps some come out as wonderful memories. :) Nicely done
