Regret #3

Bronnie wrote that regret number three is:

#3 - I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

One of her patients said that "he hadn't really known himself until recent years, so (he) questioned how they (his family) could have stood a chance of knowing him anyway."

That is always the first challenge...knowing how you feel. Both Stu and I have come a long way in that regard but even though we are getting closer each day. I know we could both do a better job in expressing our feelings.

I also just finished reading Steve Jobs biography. Toward the end of the book he says:

"When you have feelings...like sadness or anger about your cancer or your plight, to mask them is to lead an artificial life."
