Dear Pete:

Following my long post to you Feb 28, you wrote to me: “I want to take a bit to absorb your response.. I’m finding all of this is really helping and providing clarity”.

Four days later, today, you posted and what you wrote has absolutely nothing about it that indicates any absorption of my reply  to you. It is as if I didn’t reply to you at all.

This is not criticism of you. It is an observation that tells me that you are very invested in your Regret. It is in you and you are in it, and the two are one, “living in the past, hating today and fearing the future”.

There is a heavy sadness and real pain involved in accepting a dysfunctional, wasteful past,  and the resulting compromised present and future. I have done that myself and I am about your age.

I will be glad to show you how I did it, but it is up to you of course, if you are willing.
