Those Mistakes By Linda Stowe
Sometimes when I think about my youthful self, a shard of memory will remind me that I didn’t always make the best choices back then. Those mistakes and moments of shame might make me wince but overall, those experiences worked to make me a better person. Granted, my memory isn’t as sharp as it once was, but neither is the memory of anyone else who was around at the time. That’s one of the benefits of being old. The people who remember you from back then are also old.

Our past mistakes. They never seem to go away. At least mine don’t. I have regrets in my life. There are a lot of days I wish I could do-over. But, as our existence in time would have it, we don’t get Mulligans. No do-overs.
But Linda pointed out in her piece that even though those mistakes might make us remorseful or regretful, they also can work to make us better people. That is, if we are smart enough to embrace that manifestation in ourselves.
That is the trick, I think. The learning from our mistakes. The growing.
So. Let us remember what we do, if it helps us on our way to being better people.
Shouldn’t we all be finding our way to being better people?
