I love Drew Barrymore. Just something about her makes me smile. Good job on being consistent with these posts. I remember when you were thinking of doing this... it is a big project! :)
ReplyDeleteI love her too! I'm a little behind but continue to work on them and plan on being caught up by my birthday next week. It is a big project and I've really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and all the quotes. It's so true that there's no value in regret... let it go and move on. I'm in the midst of practicing that one.
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to be too hard on yourself and get caught up in those things instead of living. This isn't a dress rehearsal, you only get one day. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteyes....just a long and wonder-filled yes to all of this.

Yes, I watched Joel Osteen yesterday and he talked about how important it is to not let the disappointments, regrets, etc. of the past hold us back from receiving all the wonders of the future. We can't receive all the new beauty if we can't let go of our regrets.
ReplyDeleteNot a dress rehearsal....what a powerful statement! Yes, only one day...make it count!
ReplyDeleteSometimes one word is all it takes....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees...no regrets :)
