\"UTKellyRev2Column\"<\/a>I can be sappy sometimes.<\/p>\n

And, never more so than when I read articles like this one about the regrets of dying people (http:\/\/www.viralnova.com\/regret-when-older\/<\/a>). \u00a0UGH.\u00a0 Heart strings.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to regret ANYTHING.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you feel that way?<\/p>\n

Their list of 37 points was pretty spot on (especially loved #\u2019s\u00a0 1, 6, 15, 17, 26 & 33!) but, I wanted to add a few more of my own:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Never refuse a piece of birthday cake\u2026just because it is nice to celebrate a person\u2019s birth with something sweet and it will NOT ruin your diet.\u00a0 (Good grief)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stop wishing for more money.\u00a0 Money never equals happiness.\u00a0 Just look at studies of lottery winners.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Appreciate your body for the amazing things that it does on a daily basis.\u00a0 Never take your health and well-being for granted.\u00a0 (This is clich\u00e9 but so very true, isn\u2019t it?)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Not giving maximum effort.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it much easier to slack off and take the easy road?\u00a0 Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Never being quiet by yourself.\u00a0 Appreciating that nothing bad will happen if you don\u2019t check Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.\u00a0 The world will still revolve.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Being too busy to read a book.\u00a0 There should be no such thing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Realizing that doing your best may not be enough and that\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be a role model.\u00a0 Every time in every way.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be the first to say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Give kisses and hugs to each other (no matter the age).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Never go to bed angry.\u00a0 I always loved this one because it gives you the promise of a fresh morning.<\/p>\n

Which numbers in the list of 37 where your favorites?\u00a0 And, more importantly, do you have any to add\u00a0 to mine?<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, leave your comments below!<\/span><\/p>\n
