Second thoughts... Not 10 minutes

Second thoughts...
Not 10 minutes ago, I updated this site to include a quote that I found enjoyable listed at the top of the page: "I don't regret anything I've ever done, as long as I enjoyed it at the time." It was said by Katharine Hepburn, who passed away today at the age of 96. I thought it was a good way of saying that I had no regrets about anything I've done. If I regret something, it tends to haunt me. I beat myself up. I think about way too often, to the exclusion of things that are very likely much more important. So I tend to look at "regrettable" actions and "regrettable" periods in my life as learning experiences.

I told Bryan that I had found what quite possibly might be my second favorite quote (behind the e.e. cummings quote on the left), and he made a "face" before he responded. Just as he started talking, I realized... you know what? I have a friend who caught her significant other cheating on her this weekend. He was probably enjoying himself. Charles Manson was probably enjoying himself. Jeffrey Dahmer was probably enjoying himself. Osama bin Laden was probably enjoying himself. I could go on. I'm removing the quote, as quickly as I put it up. I'll probably replace it with the e.e. cummings, moved from its place at the left, to its new home at the top, as my favorite quote should be.
