You're certainly welcome...however, to be honest, the posting was really what I'm in the middle of learning, myself. Glad that it provided something positive for you. (personal comment time...you've got NOTHING to be "ashamed" of. Being an EMS is a wonderful gift..and you've done an outstanding job over the years. Don't beat yourself up. You'll proceed forward with wonderful success...2006 is going to be a great year for you!).

As usual, your lesson was meant directly for me. I was despondent yesterday, thinking, 'God, I'm 41 and what do I have to show for it?' My brother's a pediatrician, my sister's a CPA, and married to a Cardiologist, and so on. Here am I, tired of EMS and wanting to do something else. I've worked so hard on studying grammar, learning words, honing my insight and I'm having trouble even getting a book published.
Your quotes made me realize that I need to pick myself back up and try some more. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you for visiting my posting. Glad you liked the last quote (thought that was a very good one, myself). You're absolutely right...we just have to accept that what's happened has happened, and move forward. (and strive for better decisions in each moment that they occur).

Thanks for your comments...I was venting a bit, I guess. (wasn't beating myself up too much...at least, I didn't think I was)...was just getting ready for the coming year. I do appreciate your comments though!

I have similar regrets but you know, I try not to focus on them too much because you can't change the past,only accept that it is what it is...and move forward. I like that last quote.

I don't know. Family communing is a two-way street, so don't be too hard on yourself. I can't always get to see my family as much as I would like, so I find surrogates to love in the mean time.
