If I had my life over
If I had my life to live over again,
I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.
I’d relax.
I’d limber up.
I’d be sillier than I’ve been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances,
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I’m one of those people who was sensible and sane,
hour after hour,
day after day.
Oh, I’ve had my moments.
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.
If I could do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had to live my life 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.

Live as though heaven is on earth
Love as though you have never been hurt before
Dance as though no one is watching you
Sing as though no one can hear you
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You!
—Dr Seuss

Randomly talking about Wimbledon this morning (as I think everyone is doing at the moment due to the amazing Isner vs Mahut game), I mentioned that going to Wimbledon one year would be one thing I would love to do before I die.
