Is there one thing in your life that you've regretted NOT doing??

[moosmom]

I got to thinking about this the other day and thought I'd start a thread on it.

In your current lifetime, have you ever regretted NOT doing, for instance, sky diving, scuba diving, etc. Tell us a little bit about it. Why you never did it and why you regret not doing it.

I didn't regret swimming with dolphins in the Florida Keys two years ago. It was so much fun. The dolphins were named Nicky and Leo nad they were the sweetest creatures I have ever met

hmm, nothing yet.. I have plenty years to do everything I want to!

oh, well, I heard the fact.. there's zillions, zillions of restaurant out there, if you visit three each a day for 40 years, you've tasted all of them! I bet I'll regret I haven't taste some!

Nope - not a thing. I am a pretty religious person, so I believe that anything that I have not done was just not meant to be

I regret all the times that i've not been able to convince my mum to get me another pet everytime we somewhere where there are animals lol lol lol

But i suppose i also regret not going scuba diving in Turkey, although we might be going to Mexico next summer, where they have one of the largest coral reefs in the world to scuba dive on, so that's not too bad

I don't regret that much in my life, as long as i've got animals, then i'll be alright

Hmmmmmm...Hopefully I still have plenty of years to do everything, but I dont think there's anything yet!

When I was in college I was in a very big hurry to "start living." So I accelerated, went to classes year round and finished in three years. I could not take a class for "fun."

If I had it to do again...I would stay in college five or six years and take lots of different classes...whether they had to do with my major or not!

That's pretty much what I did - I took lots of different classes - I couldn't decide whether I wanted to major in English, Psychology, Sociology, or Criminal Justice, so I took a bunch of classes in all of them! I actually enjoyed it though, but I was in college for a loooong time!

There are a few things, the first being I wished I had gone ahead and got my drivers licence, Travelled more, especially to the land of my birth, I had the opportunity offered free flight just my spending money to go with my parents, but i had just got back from the States and could not be bothered scrimping and saving again, boy do I regret that, I now probably will never go there due to my health and lack of money, I regret that so much, and also not having a kitty for over 18 years due to being allergic to kitties, now of course i know it was possible all along.

Sometimes I wished I had another child, just after Melissa was born for company for her, but then again my health took a turn for the worse just after her birth, so it would not have been a good idea, moneywise either.

Take note to anyone who is dying to leave school, I wished I had stayed on longer into what we call our sixth form, i had the marks to go there ,but i had sat my exams and passed and just up and left, because i thought i knew what i wanted to do and that was become a nurse, I went nurse aiding until i was old enough and by then i was not keen anymore, so just went from job to job, i regret not having a proper career as such, and wished i had done some study.

I kind of regret not being more spontaneous/outgoing in school. I am really outgoing now, I never was in school, however I think me being out of school is the reason - I'm in a much better state of mind than I used to be in school!

[lv4dogs]

yup, only one thing though, for not turning down my current job & staying at the vets office.

I regret not taking piano lessons. I've always loved piano music (my favorites are Jim Brickman, George Winston, early Yanni) and am in awe of anyone who can play classics.

I also regret not staying at my job at the Hartford Courant. I really miss it. I especially miss not writing my weekly "Pet of the Week" column.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I regret wasn't very outgoing when I was still studying. All that counted for me were my studies. While others made lots of fun, I was a good quiet girl...
I also regret I never learned to play the guitar. My parents forced me to play the piano, guitar was out of the question. I did buy a guitar after I got married, but never got the chance to follow lessons.
Now, here I am, with NO piano to play on, and a guitar I cannot play on

I thought that was what getting a Master's degree was all about....he he he.

I 'regret' not applying myself to learning a foreign language- spanish. WOW would it be a benefit to me now.

It is NOT TOO LATE! You can take piano lessons as an adult! My sister and her husband have a piano school that specializes in teaching adults and children - they get different books, and taught differently, but everyone learns!
