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 sculpted1 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 stained2, 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 ramble3 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.www.021lunwen.com
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watc- hing 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 pregnancy4 , 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 impetuously5, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you"... More "I'm sorry"... 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.
患病的时分我就卧床歇息，不会伪装自己一天不作业，地球就会中止滚动。
我要将雕成玫瑰花状的粉红蜡烛点上，而不让它在搁置中熔化。
我要自己少说话，多听他人说。
我要请朋友来家里吃饭，地毯弄脏了，沙发褪色了又何妨?
我要在“考究”的客厅里吃爆玉米花。倘若有人在壁炉生火带出了炉灰，我不会操那么多闲心。
我要从从容容地听爷爷讲他年青时分的工作。
我决不会由于夏天头发刚刚梳理过、喷过发胶，就必定要把车窗玻璃摇起来。
我要和孩子们一同坐在草坪上，不光心衣服上会染上草渍。
看电视我要少哭一点，少笑一点，看日子我要多哭一点，多笑一点。
我买东西不会只看它很有用，不显脏，或能确保用一辈子。我不会在期望中度过9个月妊娠期，我要
爱惜每一刻，要意识到体内成长的奇特是我此生协助天主发明奇观的专一时机。
孩子们毛手毛脚地亲我，我决不会说：“等等。先去洗手洗脸，预备吃饭。”我要更多地说“我爱
你”……“对不住”……但总的来说，假如再让我活一回，我要掌握好分分秒秒，留神日子，真实重视
日子，品尝日子，决不使岁月蹉跎。
不为小事烦心。不忧虑谁不喜欢我，谁比我赋有，或许谁在干什么。让咱们爱惜与诚心关爱咱们的
人之间的那份爱情。让咱们多想想天主赐予咱们的福分。
多想想咱们每天做了哪些有益于自己思维、身体、爱情和精力的事。
人生时刻短，不行虚度。每个人只能活一回，然后生命就消失了。祝福我们日子美好。
