After a while I learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And I learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And I begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.
And I begin to accept my defeats with my head up and my eyes ahead, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a .
And I learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. .
After a while I learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So I plant my own garden and decorate my own soul, instead of waiting for someone to leave me flowers.
And I learn that I really can endure;
I really am strong, I really do have worth.
And I learn, and I learn
With every goodbye I learn.
If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd 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 lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, 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 it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies
My Ideal Person:
honest.. sincere.. faithful.. true to himself.. loves pets (especially dogs!).. all the ideal..
