I have lived a full life. I have loved and been loved, I live in a cosy cottage with my family, I can afford to keep it warm, I have hot running water, and enough money to buy enough to eat, and drink, and clothe myself. I have a garden where I can see the flowers grow, watch birds flying in the sky, feel the sun and wind on my face, I'm alive.
Stop thinking about what you haven't done, and be grateful for what you have!

This reminds me very much of the Mark Twain quote “Twenty years from now you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the things you did...”.

Edith Piaf summed it up for me - “Moi? Je ne regrette rien!”

Been to a T Rex concert back in the day -how I wish I had- I went to so many concerts but missed them.

Never been tall and elegant

I have never NOT done anything I fancied at the time. So there are a few things on these lists that I haven’t done, but leave that to your imaginations....

Had a tattoo- Ugh, getting old and wrinkly

Done a parachute jump, or hang gliding.- I think I'd like the experience

Been to a pop concert? -Well I'd like to have done it

Been to a nightclub- I wish

Watched Love Island- no way

Flown in a helicopter-?

Been ballooning- love to

Been on a cruise- I'm not keen

Been to Venice- love to go, but maybe not now

Smoked -No

Taken drugs -No
(perhaps I should concentrate on what I have done!)
