No Regrets……..!!

Over the last week I’ve seen a few things that later on in the day I wish I’d captured.

A sign I thought was funny, a fabulously dressed woman in town. A beautiful window that had a very yellow warm glow coming from it and honestly I really don’t know why I didn’t take the picture?

I’ve thought about it a lot this morning and have no answer.

This morning, driving my oldest to rugby I decided there and then that I never want to be annoyed with myself ever again. I never want to regret NOT doing something.

It was actually a very lovely moment because my son has a real issue with overthinking. It causes him a lot of stress at times. He’s so acutely aware of it in the moment too. If he has options it send him into turmoil. He’s been like that always and sometimes I take the decision out of his hands and make it for him but ultimately my goal (and his) is to find the tools in his tool box to combat it himself.

We didnt have a lot of time to get to the venue, the sat nat was on. As we turned a corner I said “wow look, that looks so pretty” (and it did). Country road the whole way, Sat Nav almost shouting at me at this point with what little time I had. I drive up an off beaten road and my son can see I’m not following the Sat nav now

“What are you doing? This isn’t the way”

I explained that I was just getting a very quick picture and I was in fact very quick.

Back in the car I explained I didn’t want to regret not taking the picture. The mist would move, its now or never and I’d be annoyed at myself again and actually I’m sick of being annoyed at myself.

Straight away he said “that’s like me with my overthinking”

So we decided, both of us. It’s better to regret doing something than regret not doing it.

You know ……it’s actually really annoying when you only have yourself to blame for something but that means I only NEED myself to fix it and I have faith in myself
