Oh dear bloggers…there is so much I’d love to share, but for now, this seems to sum it up best. At my ripe young age, this poem has hit me with a stroke of truth…ENJOY!
If I had my life to live over, I’d try to make more mistakes next time.
I would relax. I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip; I know of very few things I would take seriously.
I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances.
I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers and watch more sunsets.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans, I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people who lives sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments, and if I had it to do over again, I’d have more of them.
In fact I’d try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead each day.
I have been one of those people who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle,
a raincoat, and a parachute.
If I had it to do over again,I would go places and do things and travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over, I would start bare-footed earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
I would play hooky more. I would not make such good grades except by accident.
I would ride on more merry go-rounds.
I’d pick more daisies.
