This post is inspired by a picture I saw at Jemima’s blog, thus I’m gonna “steal” it from her. Thanks Jemima. 
I love this song by Sheryl Crow & Sting, for sentimental reasons, and especially the lyrics. I’ve made regrets with the matters of the heart, I’ve learned to appreciate life a whole lot more. There are MANY out there who are suffering, and would gladly give their place up for mine. After watching HOME OF THE BRAVE, has solidified my beliefs that life is just too fragile, and we cannot always live in fear, for we’ll never stop to appreciate the sun.
We make mistakes. That is inevitable. Some mistakes can make the heart stop. And I’ve had my share of heart-stopping moments throughout my life, and as always, I’ve learned to fall and pick myself up again. 
This isn’t how it’s really meant to be…but nonetheless, she knows that she’ll always have my friendship, cause I’m always on her side. 
Sheryl Crow & Sting - Always on Your Side
My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
Every now and then you come to mind
‘Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But my demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin’ only traces of the man you thought I’d be
Too afraid to hear the words I’d always feared
Leavin’ you with only questions all these years
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn’t how it’s really meant to be
No it isn’t how it’s really meant to be
Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,
Try to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I’m left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I’m always on your side
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
When this isn’t how it’s really meant to be
No it isn’t how it’s really meant to be
Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin’ me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wandering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side
A Year Ago

Dan,
Nobody is perfect. We all carry a past.
Your friend has to learn to accept & forgive each mistake like I did… from the heart.
Only then.. she’ll be released of her bitterness.
HUGS, my friend.

What was… and could have been… is all relative. Regrats, Doubts and miss chances is what breaks us… but thats what makes us….

Jemima No no, she’s already forgiven me LONG time ago, as she knows my reasons were validated at the time.
It’s a great pic…
Mo Amen! The hard times we go through builds character.
My message is, do not live regretting the past and fearing the future!

Youve used up all your coupons
And all youve got left is me
And somehow Im full of forgiveness
