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 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  children and not

worried about 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 and realized that the

wonderment growing inside me  

was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

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.
