"If I had my life to live over
again, I would try to make more mistakes next time... I'd try not to be
so damned perfect; I'd relax more, I'd limber up. I'd be sillier than
I've been on this trip; In fact, I know of very few things I'd take
quite so seriously; I'd be crazier... and I'd certainly be
less-hygenic. I'd take more trips... I'd climb more mountains... I'd
swim more rivers... And watch more sunsets. I'd burn more gasoline, I'd
eat more Ice Cream- and fewer beans. I'd have more actual troubles and
fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I was one of those
people who lived prophylactically and sensibly,hour-after-hour and
day-after-day. Oh that doesn't mean I didn't my moments; But if I had
it to do all over, I'd have more of those moments. In fact, I'd try to
have nothing but wonderful moments, side-by-side.
I was one of those people who
never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hotwater bottle,a gargle,
a raincoat and a parachute; If I had it to do all over again, I'd
travel lighter next time.
If I had my life to live over
again, I'd start barefoot earlier in the spring and I'd stay that way
later in the fall; I'd play hooky a lot more. I'd ride more
merry-go-rounds, I'd pick more flowers. I'd hug more children, I'd tell
more people that I loved them... If I had my life to do over again, but
you see; I don't."
