IF
I had my life to live over, I'd try to make more mistakes next time...
I would relax.
I
would limber up.
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 eat more ice cream and fewer beans.
I
would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You
see, I am one of those people who lives sensibly and sanely, hour after hour,
day after day.
Oh, I 'd have 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 have been one of those people who never go
anywhere without a thermometer, hot water bottle, a gargle a raincoat and a
parachute.
If
I had to do it over, I would start barefooted earlier in the spring and stay
that way later in the fall. I would
play hooky more. I would not get such
good grades except by accident. I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.
I'd
pick more daisies.
