[/caption]Every so often I am struck with the feeling that one day I will wake up and I will be 87; and not sure where the time has gone. And at that moment be filled with regrets or "what ifs" or and wondering if I am content with the paths I chose. I like to think that at that moment I will be mature and confident in my judgment and ability to make the best decisions for my life. But we only have one shot at this thing called life. I know of a few people, they're not 80 or anything; they're middle age and full of regret about where they are at this place in their lives.
That frightens me. I am stunted by my desire to make good choices so much so that I'd just rather not make decisions. Even though if you really analyze my life, I have made some pretty wise choices. But I also could have made different, perhaps better ones as well. This might just be a stage I am at in my adult development where I look at the past and consider the future and feel like this is the crucial time for wise choices.
Is there ever an age where we feel confident in life with no regrets or wonderings? If so, I'd love to reach that time period soon!
