Small regrets

Have you ever said something or done something that you feel so bad for that years down the road you still feel bad about it? I have a few of those- they may not seem like big things to others but I think about them a lot and still feel bad for them. Maybe if I get them out in the open I can feel better!!! 1) I took over my brother Jamins horse when I was younger- his name was Sam. We were inseprable, I worked with him every chance I could and took him to fair, where I took first place and the chance to go to state fair! I was so excited and so was Jamin. He ran from the bleachers to the gate were I was coming out of the arena...and(this is the feel bad part) I stayed on Sam and didnt even get down to hug my brother. I can still see Jamins face- he was so proud of me and I didnt even show him my thankfulness for his help in getting me to that point. 2) My dad and I spent a whole day together when I was in High School. I know that he loved those kind of days- they were very seldom. We went all around town running errands, and eating out for lunch. One of our stops was the Post Office where we needed to drop off a package. It was a busy day there and the line was somewhat long, so the time we would spend standing in line and talking was something I could tell he was looking forward to. On our way to the Post Office I heard on the radio that they were going to be playing my FAVORITE song somewhere in the next 30 minutes. So I opted out of standing in line and talking with my dad so that I could sit in the truck and listen to Chumbawamba. I can remember my Dad's reaction when I told him I was just going to stay in the car. He seemed so dissapointed. And I am still sorry I didnt go in with him. 3) My sister bought me a makeup case for Christmas while I was going to school. It was a very nice one that had all the makeup, brushes, bottles- everything I needed to help with my career. I took it to a Relief Society activity to show the women how to apply makeup. While applying the foundation to a friends face, someone asked what kind of foundation is best. I had just started a job where all they used was powder foundation and therefore I answered, "Mineral makeup is best- not this kind of stuff I am using right now." Now this answer may not seem too bad but the minute it came out of my mouth my stomach dropped. Why did I say that? This makeup is perfectly fine- not just fine- its great. It is high quality, good foudation! I know for a fact that my sister put a lot of thought and MONEY into this gift for me and here I am telling people it its not good makeup. I shouldnt of said that, not only because it wasnt nice but because it simply wasnt true. Now I know these things seems small and I dont know if Jamin, my Dad or Liana remember these instances or even were bothered by them in the least bit. But they are things that I think about a lot and regret saying or doing. It reminds me each day to think before you act/talk. Once things or done, they are very hard to take back.
