Where there is no room for regret

I like to spend the present so filled up with what’s happening that I say that I have no room for holding regret.

I used to lug diaper bags and thought that awkward phase might be over. But now it’s practice bags and dinner for long practices and a change of clothes for big exciting experiences . And I still try to fill up my mind and heart and hours being so present.

Then I will see a picture, read a post, from a few years ago and about those I love, and my heart will just about burst.

I never want to stop learning.
I never want to stop loving.
They cannot be separated.

So as much as I want to live with no regrets, if we are growing and able to adjust and change, we will always find new and better ways to love.

Love is a journey that lingers -or speeds- along the road of life. I don’t want to miss today’s green pastures any more than I hope that I didn’t miss last years. Or the years and decades before that.
But than can only happen if I stop counting so much of yesterdays -the things and happenings around it all.

I think the one thing that will never change is the realization that there’s always more room for love. There’s always more room for giving it and living with and in it, and then giving it away.
So no matter what changes, that never will. That will always inspire us to dig deeper, to go further- in the ways that best matter, today.
So let’s let it be love, friends.
Don’t spend so much time looking for where it’s not, or it’s missing. Look to fill up all of the cracks you stumble upon. With love. All the bumps on the roads that you travel. All the people that you bump into along the way. All the ones you’re across from and around.
Love them with ferocity. Which means, friend, that you’ll have to forgive them -and yourself- a lot.

In order to keep loving, you’ll have to try again.

The only cure to regret is loving so well and much and genuinely today that you don’t have time to worry.

Because when you “do”that kind of love, when you receive it from Heaven yourself, snd you allow it to flow with such velocity through you, you will have no chance to worry.

Because you start understand. That it’s not about what didn’t happen yet, but what can be RIGHT NOW. That can- and does- make all the difference.

Then love will flow like a river,
And sweep away all debris.
And all that will be left,
Is who you were all
Meant to be.
