I hope I don't regret not having a title for this mess.

It's come to my attention that I have a lot of feelings.

Good ones.
Sad ones.
Really, really bad ones.

Just kidding about the bad ones, but I do love a sing-song rhyme.

Also, spell check always tells me that I don't' know how to spell rhyme.

People always say to live your life without regret.
Who are these people and why should we listen to them?

{not my tattoo nor my decolletage}

How does one live without regret? Like, NOT one regret? 
I'm not buying what they're selling.

My regrets; I have a few.

I regret being an anal-retentive Mother when my girls were little. I know exactly *why I was like that 
and I don't believe they are scarred, but still, I could have been a 'lighter' person.

I regret some of the times I didn't answer the phone when my Mom called me.

I regret all the times I stressed over buying and wearing a bathing suit. From the time I was 15 until now; I stressed whether I was 95lbs or 140lbs.

I regret not wearing sunscreen on my decolletage during my teen years.

Upcoming evidence of feelings all over the place.

This song was on my mind the other day.
When my Mom was in hospice we played some music for her.
Me: Oh, she loves this song (she really did) so I started playing it. 

After a minute or so, my Aunt Trisha said: Yeah, she likes that song, but she really loves this one.

My Mom was heavily sedated and hadn't communicated in hours, but she twitched when this song came on. I know she was trying to dance.

When I was a kid and she would dance/drive in the car at hearing a good song...Why did that mortify me? 
Dance/driving is the best.

I don't regret dropping everything and spending copious amounts of time with my Mom in ATL when she was sick.

I don't regret a single day of actually being a Mom or a Wife. (I capitalized on those as they are both positions that I take seriously.)

I don't regret knowing the word decolletage; it's an interesting word.

I might regret hitting publish on this post.
