To help put
things back into the proper perspective, here’s another look at some wise words
from Erma Bombeck…
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.
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
