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 on a summer 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 pretending the earth would go into
a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought
anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There
would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘m sorry”……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.
