Words

Coulda Woulda Shoulda - how many times do these words get used by everyone (including me)? How many times do people say these words to justify something that's happened to them or what they've done (or not done).

I know I've said those things - dwelling on the past or what might have been - but it never changes anything and rarely makes me feel better.  So I've decided to do my best to avoid those words. Instead I'm going to use words like Can and Will and Do instead.  I'm going to focus on the present, dream a bit about the future and look at the past only for the good times.  I can't change what has happened but I can learn from it.  I focus on the present and what's important - my family, friends and, of course, my pets!  And I can look forward to the future, without over planning it, and new adventures.
