    IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
    ( written after she found out she was dying from cancer).
    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 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 new clo thes 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 we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally.

    I wonder if you did anything different would it change the place you are now? I couldn't be happier where I am in life now, my husband, my dogs, my job, etc. but I always wonder had I done one little thing different years ago, would I still be where I am now??

    When I stumbled upon this horrible website I would've either clicked the "close" button, or moved on too Porn. Far less time consuming.

    Yup, thought many times that my first marraige was a sham and wished it never happened...............but without those circumstances I probably would not have found the lifemate I now enjoy so much.......
    If God wanted us to go back and change things he would have programmed a reset button on our useless bellybuttons...
