Something you regret

I regret the terrible things I've said to my family and friends when I was racked with anxiety and pain.

One thing I don't regret is meeting Jo Jo on the web.

But I do regret the same thing. Hurtful words to my family.

No doubt. I think we can all relate to that on one level or another.

Tell me more about Jo Jo! I used to know all your dirt!

Congrats on the new gig, by the way.

Silence, infidels.

I regret turning to food to deal with my emotional issues.

I regret being in debt that we can't afford to have kids and I'm almost 30 years old.

I regret not having a closer relationship with my parents.

I regret not listening to my grandfather when he told me stories of him growing up in Russia.

I regret that I'm not patient enough for all of my students.

Among my regrets is the one of not learning my maternal grandparent's language, Polish. I now have books in Polish that I can't read. (Lesson for all who have an opportunity to learn parents or grandparents language--take the time to learn.)

You can still learn, but it will be difficult. It becomes harder and harder to learn a new language over the years, but it is possible. Your best bet would be to find a meet-up group for Polish language and meet regularly, plus spend some good time with a textbook, a simple book to read, and a dictionary.

not walking out of my Latin 2 class when the teacher accused me of cheating on a test in front of the whole class.
I didn't cheat when i (and all the rest of the class) had the opportunity to do so, and the proof of my not cheating was on my exam paper. instead i sat there and took the public dressing down.
that day followed me thru my HS years, and the incident was shared by my Latin teacher with at least two other teachers of mine. yep i could have ended it right there, and i regret that i didn't.
instead of proclaiming my innocense God kept my mouth shut that day, but it's something that i'm still not reconciled to.

Your teacher sounds like a repugnant human being. I'm sorry you had to experience a language teacher like that.

Not having opened up my heart fully to Jesus and our Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God 30 years earlier during my life.

Not having Loved and placed all of my trust in Jesus by setting a great deal of time aside in order to receive Jesus into my heart and our Heavenly Mother Mary 30 years earlier during my life.

Not having thought to pray The Holy Rosary daily for all world causes and my own Family and Friends causes and my own 30 years earlier.

Not having read all of God's Holy Word in both His Old Testament and all of His New Testament not then knowing that The Holy Spirit guides me from passage to passage and explains each passage to my heart.

Not having done more for mankind while raising my now grown up Children regardless of the earthly day to day pressures, educating my Children and being there for husband and family - if I had my time again - most definitely knowing in my heart the Love, Blessings, Graces and Gifts that Jesus gave myself and family.

. I would never have missed a Holy day of Obligation, never missed praying from my heart trusting in Jesus while focussing fully on Jesus, nor would I have ignored Jesus while enduring each life crises - only with a brief prayer - I would have kneeled, prayed and talked for hours with Jesus from my heart as opposed to my mind, knowing that Jesus is always listening to those of whom pray and trust from the heart.

. I wish I had concentrated on Jesus' Stations of His Cross 30 years earlier in order to fully comprehend that Jesus had endured the worst persecutions throughout His Life and endured the worst death, His bitter Passion, Agonies and Sorrows while Loving mankind, His Disciples and Family, being worried for all mankind that they would turn to Him/Jesus during their darkest hours and every day, just as Jesus did with His Father - His Heavenly Father daily.

. I wish more had been given to Africa and India during my life with fundraisers conducted at least annually.

. I wish that for many years I had picked up The Cross and followed Jesus at least 50% of the time in order to undertake so many of His Holy Callings that He had been calling me to do prior to Family and Family commitments. I love Family however there should have been a balance there. Too much time was given when I could have been doing so many many things for people living in poverty and spreading God's Glory and Jesus' Divine Mercy to non-believers.

Thank you Warrior Angel

My Nana, whom I loved dearly, I treated her badly though she loved me so much and she was the one that taught me first how to pray and to love the Bible. I wish I could turn back time and tell her that I love her and that I'm sorry.

That's one of many regrets.
