Changing Regrets

We all have them, and while it is not good to dwell on them, perhaps they can motivate us to change. I regret not playing soccer with my brothers (and sister) on a regular basis. I missed my chance to work out, have fun, "bond" with the siblings, and develop some skill. My four-year-old brother can kick better than I can. I'll admit, I was embarrassed and ashamed at my lack of skill. So what can I do to change my regrets?
Great change takes time, patience, practice, and hard work. I plan to move forward. My friend and I borrowed a ball for the semester and (as of this morning) have started playing together. Nothing drastic or hard core; I get winded after 5 seconds of fast running. But maybe by Thanksgiving I'll be able to play with the brothers (and sister).
Still playing barefoot.
