I’m talking about my annual Guilt Trip. I got tickers to fly there on WISH – I – HAD’ airlines. I 37 my baggage all the way, which was weighted down with a thousand 38 of ‘what might have been’. No one greeted me at the ‘Regret City’ International Airport.
As I 39 into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed to miss that great 41 occasion.
Many leading citizens went there. First, there was the ‘Should – Have - Done’ family. 42 came the ‘I – Wish’ family. Of course, the ‘Opportunities’ family, ‘Missed and Lost’, surely made an 43 . They each had a dad story to share. ‘It’s – Their - Fault’ treated us with stories about 44 things had failed in his life, and each story was applauded by ‘Don’t – Blame - Me’ and ‘I – Couldn’t – Help – It.’

But as I though about all the stories of failures 47 from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and ‘pity party’ could have been cancelled by ME!

Knowing this, I left ‘Regret City’ immediately. Am I sorry for 50 I’ve made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them.
So, if you’re planning a trip to ‘Regret City’, please cancel all your reservations now. 51 , take a trip to a placed called ‘Starting Again’, which I like so much that I’ve made it my 52 residence. My neighbors, the ‘I – Forgive - Myselfs’ and the ‘New - Starts’ are so very helpful.
By the way, you don’t have to carry 53 heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders 54 arrival. Surely you’ll find this great town – it’s in your own heart. Look me up if you’re ready for a (n) 55 changer in your life. I live on ‘I – CAN – DO – IT ’ Street.
