I'm not so naive as to think I'll have no regrets just because I won't have these 5! I'm sure I'll find something else to regret.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing it. It actually brought tears to my eyes to think about those people and the things they've regretted about their lives.

#4 is the only one on there on which I think I still need work. In fact, it plays a role in my resolutions for 2012 (I don't generally make 'resolutions' but since I need to focus to make this change and it happens to be the new year, it just sort of became that...). My husband and I are resolving to do more entertaining, and personally, I want to strengthen my relationships outside of my marriage. This will absolutely include reconnecting with old friends and now I have more reason to continue down this path.
