If you had your life over,, what would you do?????
( by Erma Bombeck 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 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.
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. Maybe we should all take this lesson in life,,,,,

I don't sweat the small stuff and the big stuff not really either
life is to short for regrets and all that stuff..there are much more important things..
I kinda think, after getting to meet the Grim Reaper, . . up kinda, close and personal, like, . .
I would learn NOT to waste a precious lifetime, running around pretending to be someone, that I really wasn't, . ..
and i guess, . . I would enjoy whatever Life, . I had left, . .
.just, . . By Being Myself, . .
kinda, NOT really worrying, about what others thought of me, . . . . . i guess. . .
"I know LTD that one comment was for someone else in case that person should read your blog and my comment..that person was trying argue with me "

But I'm kinda stuborn, . .so it took the Grim Reaper, . .a few tries, . . before he got his point across, . .
mon cher ami,
J'ai eu cette habitude stupide de dire rien que la vérité,. . . . .
et effectivement,. . Je suppose que je suis trop vieux. . . et beaucoup trop stuborn à jamais changer . .
Il est doux que tu êtes si honnête
Je suppose que je suis vraiment confus, avec beaucoup de différentes petites femmes,. . . et c'est pourquoi je me demandais
si vous aviez quelques minutes. .
à l'écoute de mon histoire de vie récentes
parce que tu es vraiment très, très, intelligent,. .
et apparemment,. . Je ne suis pas , .
We only pass but once in this world and were given life to live, survive, struggle but it's the nature of life and without it, life can never be ideal if we don't feel the pain and happiness in our lives.Such is life but it's all worth it to enjoy and feel all the natures of life.
Thanks for stopping by
merci.
