If I had my time over by nadine stair

If yous are looking for the poem If I Had My Fourth dimension Over Once more by Nadine Stair so you accept come up to the right identify.

Hey my friend,

Many years ago I came across this astonishing poem, which was written by an 85 year onetime woman from Louisville Kentucky.

When asked the question "How would you lot live your life differently if you had a chance?" this here was Nadine Stair's poetic response.

If I had my life to alive over over again,

I'd dare to brand more than mistakes next time.

I'd relax,

I'd limber up.

I'd be sillier than I accept been this trip.

I would take fewer things seriously.

I would accept more chances.

I would swallow more ice cream and less beans.

I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'grand i of those people who was sensible and sane,

Hour later on hr,

24-hour interval after twenty-four hour period.

Oh, I've had my moments.

And if I had to do it once more,

I'd take more of them.

In fact, I'd attempt to have nothing else,

But moments,

One after some other,

Instead of living and then 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 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 on in the fall.

I would go to more dances,

I would ride more merry-go-rounds,

I would pick more daisies.

– Nadine Stair

If I had my time over by nadine stair

When I first read this poem, many years ago, information technology was long before I ever became a parent. Still a shiver ran down my spine when I sensed this lady's regret.

Fifty-fifty back so, every bit a young adult, I felt similar my days could've been spent differently.

There were things I regretted not saying.

At that place were things I regretted non doing.

As time went on, I made my ain fair share of mistakes.

And then one mean solar day I became a parent and the weight of expectation doubled and tripled in size.

I fussed and fretted about things that weren't fifty-fifty that of import.

I had dreams of my own that I nevertheless wasn't chasing.

Which forces me to ask the same question:

What would I myself do differently if I had that time over?

This here is my response:

If I had to live my twenty-four hour period over

I would treat each day as if it was a precious gift.

I would treasure every second of information technology.

I would heed less to others and more to myself.

I wouldn't care what anyone else thinks.

I would put abroad the phone.

I would switch off the TV.

I wouldn't let a day pass without cuddling my kids.

I would dance more, laugh more than and sing more.

I would step outside my comfort zone and make those trips.

I would appoint more with the world.

And brand sure my actions matched my words.

I would allow my family knew how much I loved them.

And tick things off my bucket listing.

If I had to live my life over

I would walk to the vanquish of my own pulsate.

I would hunt inner peace and happiness.

I would feel the fearfulness and do things anyway.

I would accept activeness today

Instead of waiting for a tomorrow that never comes.

All in all, I would try to always stay witting of

How blest we are only to exist alive.

As a parent, time passes so quickly.

In a blink of an eye your infant becomes a toddler so a pre-schooler.

Then earlier you know it that pre-schooler becomes a school student and they are graduating loftier school and off to college – it happens as rapidly as that.

Time passes by and then quickly, you don't even realize information technology until information technology has already gone.

And then my question to you is this:

What would you exercise if you had your time over?

Remember that your fourth dimension isn't over yet.

Do what you lot tin can now while you lot still have the opportunity to chase those dreams and make apology.
