Without change, there would be no butterflies.

The Pain of Regret

Perhaps an obvious topic today.  I'm regretting not posting more Sam stories this year.  I'm regretting not spending more time with Sam each day than I have.  I'm regretting that I have cared for his physical self without always spending time with the rest of him.  I'm regretting that sometimes Sam became something that had to be washed, or taken out, or fed, or placated, or inspected.  I'm regretting that I didn't sleep next to Sam on the floor more times and take him to the barn more and ....

I'm realizing that there is always going to be the opportunity to regret.  Whether I take it or not is up to me.  I'm trying to put it back down.  I can only do what I can do with what I have and where I am.  And that is enough.  Still working on this one.

I miss my dog...
