If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

　　 I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.

　　 I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

　　 I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up onasummer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

　　 I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

　　 I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

　　 I would have cried and laughed less while watching television-and more while watching life.

　　 I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretendingtheearth would go into a holding patter if I were not there fortheday.

　　 I would never have bought anything just because it was practical,would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

　　 There would have been more I love yous ... more I'm sorrys...but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
