Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

So, I told you about going to the Europa a few weeks ago.  I told you I only had one regret.  I didn’t stop and say anything to Jen Hendershot when she stopped me to tell me I looked nice.
 
And so last night, I logged onto her site and sent her an E-mail.

You see, I couldn’t go back and fix the fact that I didn’t speak to her at the time.  But I could fix the moment from this point forward.

But did you hear that?

I can’t go back and fix past regrets.

I wasn’t the size I wanted to be at my high school prom.

I wasn’t the size I wanted to be when I got married or when I got divorced.

I wasn’t the size I wanted to be when I was pregnant either time.

And I wasn’t the size I wanted to be at my ten year reunion.

And I can never go back and fix any of those moments.  I can’t go back to any of those events.  No moment can be relived.

But while you are listening, listen to this:  I CAN fix the present, so that I won’t have future regrets.

I can’t go back to my prom or my ten year reunion, but boy did I dance the night away at my twenty year reunion.

I cannot go back and change the fact that I wasn’t fit when I was pregnant.  But is it ever fun to be called a hot soccer mom!

Wherever you are, if it’s not where you want to be…it’s time to fix it.
 
Just like with that E-mail I sent to Jen, I cannot go back and change the fact that I didn’t say anything to her at the Europa.   But when I saw a picture of her and was reminded that I missed the opportunity to tell her how she inspired me, I stopped right then and there….and I did something about it.  There will be no future regrets, because I sat down and took the time to tell her how much her words meant to me at the Europa.

Not where you want to be?  Stop.  Right here.  Right now.  Do something about it.
 
And don’t be sad that you cannot fix past regrets, because you will carve out for yourself one heck of a future that is 100% regret-free!

And that past will only serve to remind you how great your life becomes.

And that deserves a big, giant WOO HOO!!!
