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 televisionand 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.
STOP sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. Let's think about what God has blessed us with and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.
Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it's gone. I hope you all have a blessed day.

假如我能再活一次 所有都会不同
生病的时候我就卧床休息，不会假装自己一天不工作，地球就会停止转动。
我要将雕成玫瑰花状的粉红蜡烛点上，而不让它在闲置中溶化。
我要自己少说话，多听其他人说。
我要请朋友来家吃饭，地毯弄脏了，沙发褪色了又何妨？
我要在讲究的客厅里吃爆玉米花。假如有人在壁炉生火带出了炉灰，我不会操那样多闲心。
我要从从容容听爷爷讲他年轻时候的事情。
我决不会由于夏季头发刚刚梳理过、喷过发胶，就必须要把车窗玻璃摇起来。
我要和孩子们一块坐在草坪上，不担忧衣服上会染上草渍。
看电视我要少哭一点，少笑一点，看生活我要多哭一点，多笑一点。
我购物不会只看它非常实用，不显脏，或能保证用一辈子。我不会在盼望中度过9个月妊娠期，我要珍惜每一刻，要意识到体内成长的神奇是我今生帮助上帝创造奇迹的惟一机会。
孩子们毛手毛脚地亲我，我决不会说：等等。先去洗手洗脸，筹备吃饭。我要更多地说我爱你对不起但总的来讲，假如再让我活一回，我要把握好分分秒秒，留神生活，真的关注生活，品味生活，决不使岁月蹉跎。
不为小事烦心。不担忧哪个不喜欢我，哪个比我富有，或者哪个在做什么。让大家珍惜与真心关爱大家的人之间那份感情。让大家多想想上帝赐予大家的福分，多想想大家天天做了什么有益于自己思想、身体、感情和精神的事。
生活短暂，不可虚度。每一个人只能活一回，然后生命就消失了。祝愿大伙生活幸福。
