Notice it doesn’t say ‘Don’t have regret’ It says to ‘forget regret’.

We all have regrets, it’s whether we let the regrets rule our lives and our thoughts,
make us feel defeated and pessimistic about what lies ahead.

It also usually means you don’t see, or at least aren’t paying attention to,
the good lessons that came from whatever it is you are regretting.

I thought back on my regrets when I decided on this quote today
and the ones I most vividly remember are the ones where I didn’t
do something, not where I did do something. I am not talking about
moral or immoral actions, I am talking about not having introduced
myself to someone, not having called someone, not having said I am
sorry to someone, not having done something because I was scared
or worried.

Those are the regrets that I need to learn from, then forget and go
on to live a fuller life.

Since I started drawing the napkins again in January, 09 (after a 5 year hiatus)
I have been trying to carve out quality time each morning to find the right quotes
and draw well. Both take longer than one might think and I throw away a lot of
napkins in the process!

Putting advertising on the blog doesn’t work very well, at least so far. I feel it
takes away from the blog and distracts people. I like the drawings and ideas
to be considered and if there is some crazy rotating ad in the middle of it, then
it is bothersome.

I would like to dedicate a fair amount of time to this since I feel it has struck a
chord with many people all around the world, (which blows my mind) and I
have received many responses from people who have been helped and moved
to action by a particular napkin. Many just write to say it made their day, made
them laugh or smile. That is enough for me.

Here is the skinny on the subscription idea:

  • It is voluntary.
  • You can pay via paypal or with a credit card even if you are not signed up with paypal.
  • You can give as much and as often as you would like.
  • If you already receive the blog daily you will continue to receive it as usual.
  • If you do not already receive it daily you can choose to by going to the form on the left (at the top) and subscribing via email or via a reader.
  • If you have any questions or problems that come up you can email me at marty@martycoleman.com.
