Talking about lovely positive threads.
I was sent this lovely saying today, and immediately thought of Elvis. I feel that he lived his life to the full, in the moment, the way the author says she would, if she had it over, again. Perhaps we could learn to live our lives to the maximum, too :clap:
"If I had to live my life over again, I'd dare to make more
mistakes next time.
I'd relax. I would limber up. I'd be sillier than I have been this
trip
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would take more trips.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer
imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live seriously
and sanely hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had it to do 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've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a
thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute.
If I had to do it over 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."
