A friend called tonight and helped me sort out some of the gray that's had me in a funk lately. He reminded me of two important things (as he always does).

1. Life is a series of turning points, and it's how we respond to them that makes us who we are.

2. The only things we truly regret in life are the things we do not do or say.

It's remarkable how easy it is to forget what matters, allow cowardice to set in, and life to pass us by.
