Just moments

Pin It Now! Bleh - having a rough day, combo of lots of various nonsense... feeling under the weather, the actual weather is horrible and work is tough, I'm sick of 12 hour days. Just a bad day. But found the below online today and love it, good reminder that it really is just the moments we should live for and not get overwhelmed or too ahead of ourselves or take ourselves to seriously for that matter. And just becuase today was a bad day doesn't mean tomorrow has to be.

If I had to live my life 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 it to do 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 people 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.
