If I Had My Life to Live Over Again

If I had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limberup. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things I would take seriously.

I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets.

I would burn more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans. I would have more actual problems and fewer imaginary ones.

You see , I am one of those people who live prophylactically and sensibly and sanely. Hour after hour. Day by Day.

Oh, I have had my moments, and if I had it to do over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd having nothing else. Just moments, one right after another instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I have been one of those people who never go anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a rain coat, and a parachute.

If I had it to do over again, I would go places and do things and 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 play hookey more often. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I'd pick more daisies."
