IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
- 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 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 yous" More "I'm sorrys."
- 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.
