Regret Is A Waste Of Time?


There are few things in life that I regret. Unfortunately this morning I did something I regret fully. I have never been visited by a Jehovah's witness. I have longed for their company pretty much my entire life. Each time I return home and find their informative brochures I kick myself for leaving the house. This morning I finally had my chance to expand my knowledge base and I blew it. I Blew IT!!
Anyone has known me for more than 5 minutes is acutely aware of my inability to function in the mornings without coffee. Well, they woke me up and as I stumbled to the door, tripping over my barking dogs and my own feet I was already irritated at having to be awake. I opened the door as far as the chain would allow and mumbled some greeting. Of course her first statement was
" Are you a bible reader?"
First of all this is a complicated question to ask me even when I am fully conscience and ready for debate. It just irritated me more since I was neither. I closed the door and before I even got back in bed I realized what I had done.The chance that I missed. I ran back to the front door and opened it in hopes I could still catch them dejected and walking away, but no. They were gone. Gone like my hopes and dreams of becoming a Solid Gold dancer.
So now I write this sad and regretful for letting the one thing that may have amused me fully slip through my fingers.
Sad.
