Regrets

Age seems to bring with it regrets. Reading an astonishing book by Diane Aphill on her aging experience, it was fascinating to read her thoughts on the subject. Her two main regrets were: a tough central core of her character ("a nub of coldness at the center"), and laziness (cowardice). I think I share her regret about the coldness, my second would be impatience (which brought about some indecision and procrastination). Regrets are largely futile, but important none-the-less. I highly recommend her "Somewhere Towards the End' a memoir," a very deep and pervasive book.
