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.
