Life Is Precious -

I don't know about you but I've found as I get older I seem to have lost the ability
to relax and am always busy doing something.
My family have told me I must have a
"rest" but I find it difficult. Even if I do just sit in a chair my mind doesn't
switch off. There are so many things I feel I must "do".
However, this past week
I have had a complete break from the computer and my normal day/night "job" and have
spent it on a caravan holiday. Actually it was more of an educational trip as we
were searching for further educational facilities for our autistic son when he leaves
school.
Hopefully it was successful. Time will tell.
The break did me good and I
came back feeling refreshed despite our caravan site being at the end of the runway
for Harrier and Tornado jets. I have to say they make an impressive sight flying
over at 200 feet – noisy but impressive!
However, when I turned on the computer I
was faced with so many e-
Spam is a big issue these days and often it's hard to know

Sometimes, however, I do things and can't explain
why. This is one e-
Maybe it's a wake up call and
I need to listen. Life is too short and precious to waste.
What do you think?
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
By Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer)
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 have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.
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 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 realised 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.
STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead,
cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.
Let's think about what
God HAS blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally,
physically, and emotionally.
I hope you have a blessed day.
