It’s always hard for me to keep in my mind the notion of time passing.   We moved around a lot when I was a kid,  at least every two or three years.  So instead of noticing and accepting changes as time went by, I got used to pushing the reset button whenever we moved somewhere new.   If things weren’t going well, never mind – another chance to reinvent myself would come around soon.   I’m thinking about this because today I did the meditation on emotions and the big emotion that came to the fore was regret.  This was no surprise, as I struggle with regret.  Although I have professional accomplishments to my credit, I feel that deep down that I am in life what I was always labeled in school:  an underachiever.   I bought into this and even found it a comforting notion:  even if I wasn’t living up to it, I had potential.   Now that seems like an empty notion.  Time does pass.  Today is day 18 of the challenge; only 11 more days to go.   I want to stay mindful of of these days going by.  Then maybe once it is over I can let the experience go without regret.
