As I drove back from the garage this morning, I was overtaken by a blue Sunbeam Alpine sports car. This set off a train of thought.
These memories of times past, made me feel sad. By the time I reached home I was feeling this sadness in the pit of my stomach. A physical sadness, as well as a mental one. My heart felt broken! Yes I know. I'm a sentimental old fool.
Sometimes I really wish I could have made a better go of my marriage. But you know, if I had, I would never have met Tricia. We would never have been blessed with our extremely handsome son George!
Life is full of different phases. That's just how it is.
Perhaps we should all have a yearly MOT test on our relationships, then we could get things mended before they get broken beyond repair and end up as a heap of junk on the scrapheap of life!
Profound reflections, John! A yearly MOT on relationships could save a lot of hurts and break ups. Some fine tuning might merely be required!
ReplyDeleteWise words, John.

ReplyDeleteWow. What a concept. It could apply not only to personal relationships but to business relationships and political relationships as well. The opportunities are endless. I do believe you have hit on something.
ReplyDeleteYes, but if I had that yearly MOT on my relationships, it might backfire on me!
ReplyDeleteI needed a MOT back in the 80's. But we really don't need to go there.
ReplyDeleteA cute little blue car.:)
There must be hundreds of junkyards full of broken relationships. Have a hug.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I think that many of us have those moments in which we look back on events in our lives and wonder what could have happened. Life is full of regrets and happiness.
ReplyDeleteWell written John! Love the little shoes too.
ReplyDeleteVery wise words indeed John. Having those kind of reflective moments today too.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that a MOT test on my relationships in life would cost me more than one on my vehicle.
