» If I had to live my life over

I am visiting with a friend and client on Eagle Island just off the coast of Vancouver and on her fridge was this quote that I loved.

“If I had my life to live over I´d like to make more mistakes next time. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and 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 sensibly 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 again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I hd my life to live 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.”

Creating an amazing life is all about taking the risks, embracing the journey and having more fun. As I have been on the road now for 13 days, countless beds, planes, buses, subways, new places, new adventures, I spent this weekend in complete Thanksgiving for the life I have created.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving week of gratitude.
