Did I do this, say that?

Ever have one of those days when you think about what you should have done?  Or something you should have said?  No one ever said being a wife was easy.  Never heard that being a mother was a piece of cake.  Friendship isn't said to be effortless. 

Having one of those days when the day is coming to an end I stopped to think:

"Did I tell my husband 'I love you'?"

"Did I give him a random hug?"

"Did I encourage my boys instead of correcting them a hundred times?"

"Did I hold them and snuggle them for an extra minute?"

"Did I stop and enjoy a quiet moment with my husband as we were passing?  He leaving for work; me coming home."

"Did I give that friend the support she needed/needs?"

"Did I do everything to save the friendship?  Did I let something slip by that I could have saved?"

I know in life we can "what if" all day long.  Tomorrow is a new day.  I know that.... I do!  That doesn't mean I can't stop and think about what I could have done differently to make the day better.  I could have slowed down for 5 minutes here and there to have made the world of difference.  I'm doing my best to live each day with no regrets.  That doesn't mean I'm always successful.  Each day is a new day.... the sun will rise tomorrow, and the regrets I had today can be fixed tomorrow.  I can and I will tell those I love that I love them.  I will take an extra 15 minutes to call a friend I haven't connected with in forever.  I will say a prayer over past situations that peace will prevail.  Nothing like being 9 months pregnant to feel like I can do it all...... I can be a wonderful wife; I can be a great mom; I can be a friend to depend on.  No, I'm not saying I can be perfect but I can do it to the best of my ability.  Some days I can do more; some days less..... but, I am perfectly imperfect.  And that I can live with.  If I know I've done what I can do, then I'm cool with it.
