AFTERWOOD…If I Could Live It Over by Nadine Stair

This delightful perspective of life was written at age eighty five.
If I had to live my life over again, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.
*I’d relax
*I would limber up
*I would be sillier than I have been this trip
*I would take fewer things seriously
*I would take more chances
*I would take more trips.  I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
*I would eat more ice-cream and less beans
*I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have few imaginary ones.
*You see, I’m one of those people who live seriously and sanely hour after hour, day after day.
*Oh, I’ve had my moments and if I had it 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 of each day.
*I’ve been one of those persons who never go anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute.
*If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.
*If I had my life over, I would start barfoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in fall.
*I would go to more dances.
*I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
*I would pick more daisies.

Ask yourself this question…. what would do?  Make that list & just do it!
