“Qu’ils Mangent de la Brioche”
What is it about one’s birthday and turning a year older that makes them contemplative about their whole lives?
_____________________________________________________________________
A long, long time ago, when my hair was the color of wet hay, someone forgettable told me there were two things that were perfect wastes of time.
- Jealousy
- Regret
I don’t get jealous, I have everything I want and if I don’t have it, I go get it. And if the tiniest bit of ‘real’ jealousy starts to creep, I hide it in the corner, under some school books I never read - let’s just say I’m content.
And regretting… Although I wished I had done things a bit differently in the past, I do not regret anything in my life. If you know me, you’ll know that I like to “have my cake and eat it too”. Knowing that, you’d also know I take full advantage of every opportunity that stumbles my way. Sometimes it gets me into trouble, but it has ALWAYS been worth it.
Until now.
If I can take one thing back, it would be _______. Not because it was not fun, but because I made an investment that did not turn a profit. I lost nothing, but time.
I love it when stories of my life form full circles: Wasting Time is to Regret. Regret, Wasting Time.
I’m so glad I don’t keep all my eggs in one basket.
There’s one thing I want the most this year and no one can get it for me.
What is it?
If you figure it out, I’ll give you a cookie.
