Straight From The Heart

If I had my Life to live over

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.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Maybe God wants us to meet a
 few wrong people before meeting
 the right one so that when we finally
 meet the right person, we will know
 how to be grateful for that gift.

 When the door of happiness closes,
 another opens, but often times we look
 so long at the closed door that we don't
 see the one which has been opened for us.

 The best kind of friend is the kind you
 can sit on a porch and swing with,
 never say a word, and then walk away
 feeling like it was the best
 conversation you've ever had.

 It's true that we don't know what we've
 got until we lose it, but it's also true
 that we don't know what we've been
 missing until it arrives.

 Giving someone all your love is never an
assurance that they'll love you back!
 Don't expect love in return; just wait
 for it to grow in their heart
 but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
 It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
 an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone,
 but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

 Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
 Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
 Go for someone who makes you smile because it
 takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
 Find the one that makes your heart smile.

 There are moments in life when you miss someone
 so much that you just want to pick them from
 your dreams and hug them for real!

 Dream what you want to dream; go where you
 want to go; be what you want to be,
 because you have only one life and one
chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
 enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
 to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

 Always put yourself in others' shoes.
 If you feel that it causes you pain,
 it probably hurts the other person, too.

 The happiest of people don't necessarily
 have the best of everything;
 they just make the most of everything that
 comes along their way.

 Happiness lies for those who cry,
 those who hurt, those who have searched,
 and those who have tried, for only they can
 appreciate the importance of people who have
 touched their lives.

 Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss
 and ends with a tear.
 The brightest future will always be based
 on a forgotten past,
 you can't go on well in life until you let go
 of your past failures and heartaches.

 When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
 Live your life so that when you die,
 you're the one who is smiling and
 everyone around you is crying.
