Edit Undo

As I type I can easily undo an error by deleting or by editing and undoing the wrong parts. There are some things in life that you wish you could undo with immediate effect. But we would never learn if that was the case. You can always wish to have taken an offer five minutes after it has passed, or taking back the words of comments made in bitterness or pain, or followed your instinct and taken the alternative route to avoid whatever happened, or accepting that kiss that caused a break-up in relationships, or having one too many the night of the party, or reverse time and start over, or taking the umbrella when you knew it was going to rain, or letting the dog out before it soiled the carpet, or putting the document back in a safe place before it got lost, or throwing the first punch because some offended you, or hitting the snooze button instead of waking up or just staying indoors all day! There are so many things we wish to undo, but life is not a word document or an computer office application. Somehow we have to live through those ghastly moments and keep going from there. It may be the birthday wish you forgot to send; stop feeling so guilty and instead make a day for the person and call it their day. It could be as random as the weather changes. How often do we make contact and hold the hand of someone we love in a day or a week? We may have come to the earth alone, but we need to appreciate now and those who are there too. Love from a distance does not exist in online relationships, it can happen around you from the people who surround you. This has been on my mind for a while and I'm not saying I have been practising it myself, I just thought I would share what I long to do! For those of us who dwell in the edit undo button...better say your sorry and start a new!
