If I Had My Life To Live Over
By: Erma Bombeck
Someone asked me the other day if I had my life to live over, would I change anything.
My answer was no, but then I thought about it and changed my mind
If I had my life to live over again I would have waxed less and listened more.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy and complaining about the shadow
over my feet, I'd have cherished every minute of it and realized that the wonderment
growing inside me was to be my only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
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 invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained
and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried
less about the dirt when you lit the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather
ramble about his youth.
I would have burnt the pink candle that was sculptured like a
rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat cross legged on the lawn with my children and
never worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching
television.....and more while watching real life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility
carried by my husband.
I would have eaten less cottage cheese
and more ice cream.
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 a day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical/ wouldn't show soil/ guaranteed to last a lifetime.
When my child 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 sorry's...
more I'm listenings......but mostly, given another shot at life
I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it
....try it on.....live it....exhaust it....and never give that minute
back until there was nothing left of it.....
