If I Had My Life to Live Over
I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
You
see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day
after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have
more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing
else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of
each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a
thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had to do it
again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot
earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more
dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.
