A vintage napkin from 10 years ago. Drawn for my daughters and put in their lunches to take to High School.
Seems a bit harsh, but there is a very real regret I know I feel when I think about what I could have done vs what I actually did do over the years.  I think there has been a victory or two, so I won’t be ashamed to die.  But, just in case anyone is inclined to tell me I shouldn’t be so hard on myself, don’t worry, I am not.  I am just saying I sometimes wish I had done more.
