Instantes...
If I could live my life again,Next time, I would try to make more mistakes
I wouldn´t try to be so perfect; I would relax more
I would be crazier than I have been,
and would takefew things seriously.
I would take more trips, would contemplate more
sunsets, would climb more mountains, would swim more rivers.
I would go more places I have never been,
I would eat more ice cream and less beans,
I would have more real problems and fewer imaginary ones.
I was one of those people who lived sensibly and busily
every minute of my life. Of course, I had moments of happiness.
But if I went back, I would try to have only good moments.
In case you don´t know, that is what life is made of,
only of moments; don´t lose the now.
I was one of those that never went anywhere without a thermometer, a bag of hot water, and umbrella, and a first aid kit.
If I could live again, I would travel lighter.
If I would live again, I would begin to walk barefoot at the beginning of spring and continue until the end of fall.
I would make more carriage outings, I would contemplate more dawns, and would play with more children, if I again had life in front of me.
But you see, I am 85 and I know I am dying.
