Regret has a way of taking over my thoughts and dragging me down to the depths of my insecurities and self-doubt. I can't help but think that so many things could have been different had I just taken the other road, made the other choice. And when I'm at my lowest point, there is this voice in my head that screams, "This is not how my life was supposed to turn out!!". I know that the voice is a lie. That my life is full of so many unbelievable blessings, far too many to count. And while I have made some bad choices in my life, I know that I am only human. I am allowed to mess up along the way. And even thought I regret some turns I've taken along the way, I must count them all as blessings. Because each and every step I've taken in my 27 years on this Earth have brought me right to where I am today. I have a husband whom I love, two perfect sons, a beautiful home, the best family in the world, and truly amazing friends. I live a very charmed life and nothing, especially not regret, is going to keep me from the realization that life is beautiful. I've made my decision. I will forget regret. Before its too late.

Title is from "Another Day" from the musical RENT
