No such thing as no regrets...

As Mary Chapin Carpenter sang; there is no such thing as no regrets-I lived in Malone until I went to college and three years when I took care of Mommie. Spent the weekend in Meacaham-I had never been there before. I love to camp and this great camping spot was only 20 minutes away yet I had never been. Funny how distance can sometimes change your perspective. Granted it is way too cold in the winter, and winters are way too long-summer though is beautiful. The fair is in town. I do love the fair. Started working as a popcorn hawker when I was in middle school. My father has been working at the horse barns for thirty plus years. If you walk around the fairground on any given night you are bound to see everybody you know. I like that. Of course fair food is the best! Fried dough, hot sausage, and a bloomin onion-that is the fair. I bought a motorcycle with money I made selling popcorn. Stopped riding when I went to college-I enjoy motorcycle riding. Last year I got a permit, had an idea of getting a little bike just for fun. Haven't done so-still time just need to do it. Like the Nike ad says just do it! Certainly all of us live with the would of. Should of , could of-need to do more and think less. Too much thinking and not enough doing. The West coast called me and that is where my home is-should have done more when I lived in Malone. Oh but the winters are long and hard. Already the leaves are turning and the air has that autumn chill. Brrrrr! I reckon ea h of us has come upon a crossroad, made a choice-then looking back wished we had done differently. Then again such pondering are pointless. At any given time we take the information we have and make the best choice we can. Isn't that what George W. Said about invading Iraq-based on the info they had they believed there were WMD! Ok, that is a bad example-Bush is actually vacationing up here in St. Regis Falls-small world. A lot of famous people vacation in the Adirondacks. We truly do not know which turn our lives will next take. This is why we need to live in the moment. Soak in the right now-sure, time may come when you look back and wonder-musings are OK, you will have regrets-just try to stay present in this moment. Re kon that is all we can do-then when we are called home hopefully, the grand purpose of our existence shall be revealed. Speaking of living in the moment-fried dough is calling! Hey Em, what do you want on yours? Be happy, love freely , chase rainbows, follow your inner voice, and go to the fair for the food! Now that is some wisdom right there:)!
