Dealing with disappointment

What would it be like to live a life without regrets? To lay your head on the pillow at night and not recount the failures and mistakes of the day. We never quite measure up to the life we want to live, the father or husband we want to be. We trudge on, doing or best believing it's good enough. That someone above is looking down on us with grace and mercy understanding our plight. There is a better way to live, a life of no regret and there are days when I stumble into that realm. But that world seems so fanciful and unreal. We are caught between two worlds and being pulled by both. Thus our disappointment, our longing for the better life, but our inability to escape our present course. Which world is real?

Reality is the world in which you choose to live. So I choose to live in that other world. I choose to believe in grace and hope of better day, a better me, and brighter future.
