I Wish That

... it was as easy to lose weight as it was to gain it
...I didn't have any gray hair (don't tell my hair colorist)
...I laughed more
...God would leave me post-it notes
...I didn't suffer from the what-ifs
...I understood why
...I had more energy
...I could sleep better at night
...I would have finished college
...I had more time to read
...I danced more
...I could stitch faster
...I would have held my babies just a wee bit more
...I would have understood the deep value of friends earlier in life
...I wasn't such a worrier
...I felt more confident
...people would value people over money
...I knew the answer
...my eldest would stop being reckless
...pores shrank as you aged
...I could have a do-over
...there was more "extra" time
...that someone would have said, "You're Gonna Miss This"

I think that we all have those same thoughts - but there is still time to accomplish many of those things, change an attitude or life style. My 92 year old grandmother still teaches me to live one day at a time, reminds me to take time and smell the roses, to enjoy the moment without regret.

What a great list of I wishes! But life is what it is; we can't change the past, but we can change ourselves for the future.
