You're right there is no success or life lessons learned or anything if we don't start.

How will we ever know?

I do know I do not want to look back over my life and regret over dreams or opportunities, not taken.

I don't believe in failure- we are learning and taking a step towards what we were designed to do - which could be many things. It doesn't have to be just one thing.

We limit ourselves too much.

Enjoy your holidays with your family πŸ€—

Thanks for your thoughts Kathleen. I haven’t spent much time thinking about limiting ourselves, and I don’t really want to go down that rabbit πŸ‡ πŸ•³οΈ at this stage in my life. However, you can guess where the inspiration for this story might have come from.

OK, as I commented that pretty much put me in tears. Excellent writing πŸ‘

It's wild how sometimes we see ourselves in the characters, especially with relationships, including our mothers, like in this one.
