I'll answer this by listing five insightful quotes on the subject.
"I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself."
- Brittany Renee
"Looking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets."
- Bernard Cornwell
"The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."
- Arthur Miller
"Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success."
- Louisa May Alcott

Awesome post! I love how you add the pictures in. :) Anyway, I don't know if I've commented here already, but I've been reading. Feel free to stop by my blog anytime.
And I must agree about Reynaldo...;)
Your son certainly has your husband's eyes. I like your list of "fives". Very creative.
I came back to visit you because I'm finishing up my feature story on your blog tonight that will post Friday. Uhh.....who am I kidding? I just came back to look at Reynaldo. Sigh.
Queen needs a King.
He'll do nicely.
You would obviously spend your money wisely! And your Brazilian love god is H.O.T!!
Thanks for dropping by.
Oh, Irene, what a thrill!
Beautiful, beautiful pictures (look at that dream house) and very heart-warming answers.
You hold a remarkable joy for life and surround yourself with love.
Your home is definitely your castle and that's where your heart is.
I can't imagine you ever losing your temper.
By the way, if you have time to answer,

Brilliant!
You are very good Irene, a champion of tag blogging, this is undoubtably the best I have seen this handled, artful and intelligent and so humanly spirited, you are super.
Good luck with the million, whether lottery or your own great talent writing and creating, or even that of you hubby who seems to be deserving of that Super Studio!
Ched: Thanks for commenting again! c",)
Jim: Wow. You flatter me but thanks! If I get the million dollars and travel around the globe, I'll be sure to drop by your place. c",)
This is a fascinating meme. Loved reading it and particularly enjoyed the first picture. :) You put a lot of effort and time into this, I think.
Tim: Glad you enjoyed it, my friend! It took me ages to put everything together but I didn't notice time pass because I was having so much fun while at it. c",)
are those your real albums? where do you buy the photo corners?
help! my mom has been harassing me already for photo corners.
So cute baby and yes, your husband seems to be a fine guy.
Thank you for passing by on my blog, Irene.
Do you know that Irene is a French name too ?
Cergie: Merci! My aunt married a Frenchman who keeps me up to date on the happenings in your country. My close cousins are now studying in France. It is one of my dreams to visit there soon with my husband. c',)
I'm with you on the Library filled with books. I'm with you on the writing too! And the chocolate... and the splits... lots of things.
That baby is BEE - U - TEE - FULLL!
Thanks, Manic Mom! Great to know we have other things in common aside from being...well...manic! :p
