Why Do We Do This to Ourselves?

Hi everyone! Geordie here from Love Your Life to Death.
I wanted to take a moment and share with you something tonight.
I do not want anyone to feel like they have regrets or to feel guilty if
something happens in their life.

Recently Yvonne and I were at a presentation in Saugeen Shores near
Lake Huron (Port Elgin and Southampton) and we have family there and
also have family buried there. I made a promise that I would go visit the
cemetery because I was not able to make it to the funeral.

However, after our presentations were done, the sun was shining, it was a
beautiful day and Yvonne and I packed up all of our stuff, hopped in the car
and we left. It wasn’t until a little while later that we realized that we did not do the thing we said we were going to do. I was sad about this and I felt guilty.
I then made a promise to myself that this has happened, there is nothing I can
do about it at this point and I promise to do better next time.

What I can do is remember all the good memories that we have had
with my family and I will always remember that. The other thing I can do
because I do not want to continue to feel guilty is keep Just Showing Up for
other people. What I have promised is that I will go out and do something good and Just Show Up for somebody else to help me move through and feel less guilty.

That’s it! Bye for now.
