Let It Go

Quote: To Live With Regret Is The Saddest Thing Of All

Have you ever heard it said, better to have lived and lost 
then never to have lived at all 
Sometimes those who second guess themselves, never reach  
the home plate 
From the second base you can see he needs a pitch 
will he hit it at the first, second, third 
or none...
Play the game my friend, and if you happen to hit it 
run as fast as you can 
if you don't, 
smack that ball again when it comes your way.  
Its all in the  way you play the game, 
come shine or rain you must show up, 
for regret will drive you insane. 
So hit it out of the ball park if you can, 
let it fly. .

There's much I regret, but there are others who give me joy. Hugs.

So much inspiration you convey, Vienna. Come shine or rain you must show up--well said!
