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 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 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 !!!
