Life without Regrets

Scrolling through the pictures that are displayed on the Wii games; I am thinking that we shouldn’t take life so seriously.  Sometimes we have to let go and have fun with no regrets.  Laughing and looking at every picture that scrolls across the screen brings back great memories.

            “You get on my last nerves.  Act like you don’t have the sense God gave a billygoat,” I joked.
            “What did I do?” replied Cameron.
            “Well for one, you running in circles acting like you two years old,” I said.
            “I’m having fun, so leave me alone,” yell Cameron.
BAM!
            “Stop laughing,” She said looking up at me from the floor with the evil eye.
            “Look at you,” I said slapping my hand on my knees and shaking my head.
            “You should be a shame of yourself.” I continue.

            I’m moving ahead to the following image.  Grandma sitting in her Hoveround, a pot flying thought the air, and me standing in the middle of the kitchen.
            “Leave me alone Dee!” cried out Amyah.
            “Dee, get your ass out this kitchen missing with that girl,” Grandma Lois insisted.
            “Mane shut your old tail up,” yell Dee.
            “You are so dumb: sitting here arguing with idiots,” I giggled.
            “Dee, who are you calling old? I got your old tail!” Lois responded. 
            Grandma Lois picks up a pot and throws it toward Dee head trying to hit him.  The pot hit me across my head instead of hitting Dee.  I’m laughing in pain while walking out the kitchen before she throw another pot and miss.

Scrolling on to the next picture is the start of another memory.  Grandma rub my head as I lay on her crying listening to her give me some advice.
            “Baby, when you play with fire you will end up getting burn sooner or later,” grandma whispering in my ear.
            “I know grandma that I made a big mistake,” I replied.
            “A lonely woman is a dangerous thing.  Take it from someone that been there and done that,” preached Grandma Lois.
            “Yes ma.” I replied.
            “Also, a hard head makes a soft ass if you didn’t know.  So whatever you doing, you need to stop, because trust me it will catch up with you.” Lois continues.
            “Okay,” acknowledged what my grandma just told me.

            Well, it’s true that I have been hurt in my life quite a bit.  But it’s also true that I have loved, and been loved.  And that carries a weight of its own.  I have no regrets in my life.  I think that everything happens to you for a reason.  The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person.
