Do you regret something you said or did, even years ago?
I have professional regrets, like a project solution that still makes me cringe when I think of it. The thought that a copy of it could be lurking out there somewhere, torments me, like the hand that surfaces in the movie, Deliverance.
There was a time in my early 20s when I agreed to do a presentation at a conference. ️ I knew what I was going to talk about️ and didn’t think it was necessary to prepare and rehearse. But once I was on the stage and looked out at an auditorium full of people, my mind went blank. The audience seemed to feel my pain, but it didn’t help. I wonder if anyone remembers it? I’m sure this experience is at the root of my fear of public speaking.
I regret being judgmental and let it end a friendship. At the time I hadn’t considered how people are raised differently or how age can be a factor. I read an article recently about relaxed attitudes of GenZ employees who sign off their emails with closings like, “Talk soon, loser,” “Hasta la pasta,” or “Kill me.” In comparison, I know I overreacted. ♀️
Regrets over a friendship are the easiest to address. I’ve made it a practice to reach out to people I regret disconnecting with, and found in some instances, they didn’t remember whatever happened.
As I’ve grown older, regretful things still happen, but I think the worst things happened a while ago. ⌛
Have you ever done or said something regretful or embarrassing? How did you deal with it?

PHOTOS: Scenes from Gust Backstrom Park. On the way to check on our Airbnb house, we took a detour to Morton, WA. I had no idea this little park was nestled in the small town. Two motorcyclists told us there is good trout fishing there. Good to know! Last photo: two loaves of Silver Palette Cookbook banana bread—a good way to deal with 6 ripe bananas.

(½) I thought this tree was having a bad time so I gave him a hug and cuddles. Swipe to see the tree from afar, can you see its shape? #pareidolia
