Having no Regrets

When Thinking Back on your Yesterdays

"If" is a word in the middle of life that can burden the soul and bring much strife. When thinking back on your yesterdays causes your mind to become ablaze wondering "What If" or "If only I'd" and from the outcome you'll want to hide. For "hindsight is better than foresight" they say. And many a folk comes to rue the day. But in light of the facts as you understood. You made the best decision you possibly could. #465
