Regret

I used to say I'd rather regret something I've done than something I didn't do. While that's changed as I've aged and had kids, there is a regret that I have from 10 years ago:

We had a long layover in Amsterdam. And we stayed in the airport!!!!

Horror! I know.

I hope I've learned my lesson.

Seize the moment.
