Recycling from 2015….what I wrote back then;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nineteen I’m trying to think of my frame of mind when I wrote this prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I mean, there’s stuff that I could have done that would have greatly affected my life path. but, then, I probably wouldn’t have met my wife, so I don’t really care about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love my wife. I love where I live. I like that I feel like I’m getting some control over my health. My job would have to improve to suck, but\u2026.can’t win ’em all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do I wish I’d been a bit less reckless on a few things? Sure. Do I sometimes wonder what would have happened<\/p>\n\n\n\n had I been more reckless? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, for tonight, I’m home. I’m going to have a Martini, and wait for my dinner to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading back on that, I really am not sure what to say about it. I was in a somewhat-positive headspace that night, for sure. Maybe I shouldn’t have been. Things would get even worse shortly, but I guess I was kind of in a reflective mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But to recycle the prompt…<\/p>\n\n\n\n What opportunities that you\u2019ve passed up do you regret passing?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s been difficult, but there’s nothing I can say where I feel like my life was ruined by missing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In one of my recent off-the-wall dreams, I was on the bridge of a very old Naval ship. It lacked many of the modern bells and whistles. But it ran smoothly in spite of the really awful weather around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I’ve got might be that interesting, but it’s mine, and it works for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That speaks to some of where I am with many of the political things going on. “My betters” don’t like the choices I make. Whatever. I’m going to do what works for me, and if you don’t like it, oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not doing the right thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay. I’m not going to do what you want me to do. Let’s go with that as a stipulation. You have a problem with that. Okay. I understand. What do you plan to do about it? Let’s get down to brass tacks. If you feel strongly enough about it that you’re willing destroy me — say it. if you feel no shame for it, let the world know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recycling from 2015….what I wrote back then; Nineteen*What opportunities that you\u2019ve passed up do you regret passing?
