Stop thinking about what you haven't done, and be grateful for what you have!

DillyDuck where does it say "what things have you regretted not doing"? This isn't about regrets, or dwelling on things we haven't done. It's just a lighthearted thread about those things!

I'm sure each and every one of us is grateful for what we have hmm.

Stoker48 why not start a new thread asking about things we've achieved or done that we never thought we would? It would be interesting I think, but not for this thread, which is about things we haven't done.

Been to the moon, but it would be out of this world!
Stood on my head, my life is too upside down for that
Robbed a bank, pound to a penny I’d get caught
Married a prince, although I’ve kissed a lot of frogs
Taken myself too seriously, life’s too short!

To all those who have never, including myself, it is not too late to go on a cruise (maybe not at the moment), tried eating oysters (ugh) or been in a hot air balloon, if you are over 60, get on with it!!! Maybe not watch Love Island, although EastEnders can be fun.... Maybe not learn Maths, but French or Spanish could open up new worlds for you.
