When asked How would you have lived your life differently if you had a chance? Nadine Stair, an 85-year-old woman, from Louisville, Kentucky, provided these poetic words as her response

If I had my life to live over again,
IÔÇÖd dare to make more mistakes next time.
IÔÇÖd relax.
IÔÇÖd limber up.
IÔÇÖd be sillier than IÔÇÖve been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances,
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones.
you see, IÔÇÖm one of those people who was sensible and sane,
hour after hour,
day after day.

Oh, IÔÇÖve had my moments.
If I had to do it over again,
IÔÇÖd have more of them.
In fact, IÔÇÖd try to have nothing else- just moments,
one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

IÔÇÖve 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 in the fall.
I would go to more dances,
I would ride more merry-go-rounds,
I would pick more daisies.

ÔÇô Nadine Stair
