If I had my life over...I would have talked less and listened

more.





I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet

was strained and the sofa faded.






I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather

ramble about his youth.





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 burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before

it melted in storage.





I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried

about grass stains.





I would cried and laughed less while watching television－and

more while watching life.




I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending

the earth would go into a holding pattern if I were not there for

the day.





I would never have bought anything just because it was

practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life

time.






There would have been more ”I love you”and more ”I’m sorry”...

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.
