To admit I have been in the
wrong is but saying that I am
wiser today than I was yesterday.
This is a wonderful quote that
constantly stays in my thoughts.
Many times we do things, take an
action, or possibly don’t take the
needed or appropriate action and
we regret or wish things might
have turned out differently.
