IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck (Written after she found >>out she was dying from cancer.) >>I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth >>would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. >>I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it >>melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more. >>I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was >>stained, or the sofa faded. >>I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried >>much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the >>fireplace. >>I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his >>youth. >>I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband. >>I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day >>because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. >>I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about >>grass stains. >>I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more >>while watching life. >>I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, >>wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. >>Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished >>every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the >>only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. >>When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now >>go get washed up for dinner." >>There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's." >>But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every >>minute...look at it and really see it ... live it ... and never give it >>back. >>Stop sweating the small stuff. >>Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing >>what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do >>love us. >>Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing >>each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well >>as spiritually. Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only haveone >>shot at this and then it's gone. >>I hope you all have a blessed day.
