Ah, regrets......woulda shoulda coulda.....
That's what I've been thinking about today.
What have you quit or given up in your life that you regret? For me....for today....it is taking guitar lessons.
I took lessons in HS....but, like with alot of other things....got interested in other things......and gave it up and sold the guitar. Oh how I wish I would have kept at it.
Another old friend.....not the "inner swan" friend.....reminded me of the following:
Grandma Moses started painting at 76.....
Ronald Reagan didn't get into politics until he was 55....
Anne Morrow Lindbergh had her first book published when she was 49....
Lincoln lost every election until he won president at 50...
Shirley Temple Black became an ambassador at 47...
oplda Meir was elected PM of Israel at 71....
Okay, okay......this is exactly what I needed to hear...and exactly what I've been dealing with.....
On my new to do list:
find an inexpensive guitar
find someone to give lessons to an old lady (you CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS)
become a member of my art center
take an art class
AND TO NOT LOSE MY NERVE!!!!!!!
* meant to type Golda Meir :(
