Regret - A Short Note

I have had some people send me private messages after reading my birdhouse project notes that are concerned I may be in denial where my "regret" piece is concerned, so I wanted to clarify.  I have written out many things that I wish were different, that I wish I had or had not said or done ... so I have processed the "what if's".  To me, the word REGRET also encompasses the word TORTURE ... a regret for me is something I torture myself with.  So after going through my feelings and lists, I was truly able to make peace with those things and accept that I DID THE BEST I COULD AT THE TIME.  So I don't count those as regrets now because I do not torture myself with the fact I did / did not do them ... I cannot change them, and peace is such a better option than regret!  Thanks for all your input, friends.  I love sharing the journey with you.
