What If..........................

My Dad is currently in hospital :-(

Next to him in hospital is a young man 

who has the most gorgeous, 

permanent smile on his face.

I have started chatting to him, took him

some Easter eggs and just give him a 

hug and some time to listen to him 

(whilst Hubs and

Dad take bets on how long it will take 

before I start blubbing).

You see " smiling man" has a terminal illness; 

he only has months to live. We don't talk

about his illness, but I leave his side thinking

of nothing else.

So I started thinking about what I would

do differently if I knew time was limited

I don't want this to be a heavy-hearted post,

so I'm only listing the light-hearted

things I would do differently if I knew

time was not on my side (as a way of

making me appreciate the smaller

things in life and stop sweating the

small stuff, which I am really good at ;-)

So here goes.................

I would have taken the time to take

long, fragrant baths instead of jumping into

the shower every morning because it is quicker

and better for the environment

I would have bought the ridiculously opulent

chandelier without worrying what my friends

would think of me

I would have worn white more without caring 

about the grass stains I would have got

whilst rolling around in the grass during

wonderful picnics with friends and family

I would have driven with the car roof down

even if I had just had my hair beautifully blow-dried;

I wouldn't have cared.

I would have laughed less whilst watching

TV, and more whilst watching life.

This gorgeous little girl is from Afghanistan. The scars on her
face were caused by a bomb in Kabul. How much can we learn
from her gorgeous little smile?

I would have had the wild parties in my house

instead of worrying about my light-colored

decor being ruined

I would  have really stopped to smell the roses

I would take pleasure in eating all the things

we've been told are bad for us ;-)

My daily fruit servings would come packaged like this

And I would try and live by these words more.

What about you? What would you do differently if you

knew time was limited? Would you have the same job?

Would you live in the same place? Would you

do something completely different/spontaneous?

As always I would love to hear
