Meloncholy Monday......
This morning I woke up with one. I try not to feel as though anything I've done I have regrets....because I'm a FIRM BELIEVER OF GOD, and everything is for a reason and as it "should be". But this ONE, I feel GOD had his hand on it , and I stubbornly
ignored it!! That's why it bothers me from time to time! After dreaming of my regret (as I have many times), I wake this morning with heavy sighs, and a rainy day. It usually takes a good day or two to finally let it go......
The rain will fade, and so will the regret......for now.

We all have regrets. The trick is not to dwell on them. I believe as Maya Angelou says, "when you know better, you do better". I have to remind myself of that and of God's wonderful love and forgiveness.
Dreams are meant to tell you something, try and dnalize it and then let it go. We learn from our mistakes but don't need to beat ourselves up in the process.
I feel for you, though. The rain never helps anything but the crops!
as one who has been walking a hard and in places ugly journey ... take stock of your blessings (there is a fabulous photo of one of them two postings down), and know AND TRUST that God is with you, and your family and friends are ...
Regrets are useless ... let them go and savour life, and change course where you have to and can ... and KNOW tomorrow is a NEW day!!
Everyday is a new day . Start each and every day asking god what great thing is going to happen today !!! And then see what it is ..
Thanks to ALL your wonderful pieces of wisdom, I DO REALIZE the blessings....it's nice to have others who are such great encouragers!!!
I used to have tons of regrets - I regretted pretty much every choice I ever made it seemed. Then I read a book by Beth Moore in which she talked about godly sorrow referenced in 2 Cor. 7:10. So I asked God to give me godly sorrow which does not lead to regret. It changed my life and how I look at nearly everything. Up until then I had guilt and shame but now I have God. It's so cool.
btw, I know what you mean when you know you're supposed to do something and you don't, or say something and you don't. Let it go girl. I've found out also that God gets it done in spite of us, but we missed out on the blessing of doing it for him. I think a key word here is "stubbornly". I fight that too. I've tried to replace it with surrender, but sometimes I just miss it.
