Marc,
Janice, from sharing the journey, just sent me over after my post last week about not hearing any Welsh men sing while I was in the UK…not for lack of trying. Loved the post and thank you Janice for the referral and for the music here Marc. Great words – I’ll be back
Thank you

I’m reminded of a Star Trek episode. Bear with me

It’s called Tapestry and in it Captain Picard is offered the chance to fix one of the biggest regrets of his life. Unfortunately in doing so his life changes completely. He never made it to the rank of Captain and consequently never got to command the Enterprise.

He likens his life to a piece of tapestry where the regrets, bad decisions and unresolved issues are akin to the frayed edges. When he pulled on one of those loose threads his entire life unravelled.

Since watching that episode years ago I’ve found a kind of peace with all of my regrets.

@Mel Such a relief to hear someone else ouch-ing too. I usually neutralise the pain by finding the learning in the change of direction - hindsight helps - but some are so painful, they never lose that charge that comes with feeling like I've failed myself, or often, others.

Wow Marc. You're really nailed it there "when our dreams change, especially if it’s not of our own volition we tend to think of it as a failure." I have a few of those, and they very much feel like failures. Ouch. Melinda’s last blog post..Do You Have Permission to Market?

Yeah when our dreams change, especially if it’s not of our own volition we tend to think of it as a failure. Rhydian proved that wrong.

I like that when his dreams ventured onto a different path, he followed them. That's pretty significant and something I think few people are prone to do. Melissa Donovan’s last blog post..One of the Best Websites for Writers

@Mel Spell that name for me I can't think of a Welsh name with no vowels! @Janice He sang a version of Phantom Of The Opera put together by Lloyd-Weber himself.
