If I Had My Life to Live Over
Image
If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have 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 weren't there for the day.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd cherish every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was my only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my child kissed me, I would never had 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.
