What is one thing in life that you regret the most?

For me it was taking granted of the time I spent with family, especially my grandmother and little brother. I'll never see them again, and I just wish I could have spent more time with them when it was possible.

What about you guys?

I regret so many things in my life it would take awhile to list. Good topic though.

I regret nothing.

Regrets get slowly washed away with tears and time.

I try not to dwell on those things I cannot change. Regret is the cancer of life and will eat away at you, if you let it.

My mum had a wonderful saying: The past, leave it with God. The present, live it for God. The future, trust in God.

True that. Regrets need healing or they still remain with you, and that's no good!

Man spending more time with departed loved ones, wishing you had only told them more how much you loved them. In the afterlife they truely know your heart though, love is transcendent.

That is profoundly true and the best way to be.

The only regret I have is that I didn't meet my hubby sooner. Everything else is a learning experience and life.

My only regret is not listening to my husband when he warned me with "Too much familarity breeds contempt", and I lost a friendship with a friend I was very fond of, but life goes on and am passed it now.
