Good one, Mags. Thanks for this always-salient Topic.

Pretty early in LIfe, MISTER Science Geek, here, had a firm sense of Time being transient. And, a concept not really existing outside the [Human] Observer. We've assigned characteristics to Sunrise/Sunset, or the passing of Seasons. I know Time can't be called back. Humility causes me to accept that right down to my Bones.

This led to me embracing the Sober concept that all I can do is be different going forward. So, I relish in that. I definitely take responsibility for past actions, but the whole 'Regret' dynamic is something I've always let fly up into the Ether. Not unlike releasing a Helium Balloon labeled 'Regrets'. My take-away is to focus seriously on the 'now' of not mucking up anymore. Live and focus in the moment. I find that relatively easy, actually, with Alcohol out the equation; never to return.

Thanks, Bim, for that .gif of a MesaDog look-alike demonstrating how it's done.

I came across this intense Song by a fav - Howard Jones. Lyrics attached for reflection.

'Another chance, another day to mend, to change, to start again'

~ 'Another Chance' ~ Howard Jones ~

~ Lyrics ~

Nuffin' like the Sunrise here to reboot, and focus Priorities...
