A Table in the Park Held a Jar of Regrets
<p>I try to live my life without regret. It comes from always trying to live my best life. It isn’t always perfect and I am far from that. But every moment of my life, the good and the bad has taught me lessons and is what got me to where I am today. Which is a very contented place.</p>
<p>There are things I wish I had done differently so I didn’t have to learn every lesson the hard way. Sometimes it was the words that were unspoken.</p>
<p>But there are no regrets.</p>
<p>As I was out on one of my long walks recently I spotted a small table set up along a path in a popular Toronto park. As I got closer I saw a bright yellow sign and a few other things on top of the table but I couldn’t make out what it was until I got closer.</p>
<p>At first, I thought it was a lemonade stand. A welcome relief on this hot summer day. No, there was no quenching my thirst here. Instead, it was set up to quench the soul.</p>
<p>The handwritten sign on the table simply asked, “What’s something you wish you have(sic) said?”</p>
<p>I’m sure I’m not alone when my mind started racing, thinking of those moments when the words wouldn’t come to me. There were pens with colorful pompoms and multi-colored sticky notes next to a jar that contained a few folded notes inside.</p>
<p>There was a small sign saying, “I’ll make an e-book of the notes I collect,” and then there was a link to the person’s <a href="https://instagram.com/isittooweirdtoask?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>. I followed the link where I found hundreds of notes posted with a wide variety of questions and comments.</p>
