　　If I Had My Life to Live Over

　　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 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 have one shot at this and then it's gone. I hope you all have a blessed day.

　　生病的时候我就卧床休息，不会假装自己一天不工作，地球就会停止转动。

　　我要将雕成玫瑰花状的粉红蜡烛点上，而不让它在闲置中溶化。

　　我要自己少说话，多听别人说。

　　我要请朋友来家里吃饭，地毯弄脏了，沙发褪色了又何妨？

　　我要在“讲究”的客厅里吃爆玉米花。倘若有人在壁炉生火带出了炉灰，我不会操那么多闲心。

　　我要从从容容听爷爷讲他年轻时候的事情。

　　我决不会因为夏天头发刚刚梳理过、喷过发胶，就一定要把车窗玻璃摇起来。

　　我要和孩子们一起坐在草坪上，不担心衣服上会染上草渍。

　　看电视我要少哭一点，少笑一点，看生活我要多哭一点，多笑一点。

　　我买东西不会只看它很实用，不显脏，或能保证用一辈子。我不会在盼望中度过9个月妊娠期，我要珍惜每一刻，要意识到体内生长的`神奇是我今生帮助上帝创造奇迹的惟一机会。
