If I Had My Life to Live Over
By Erma Bombeck
(written while dying from cancer)
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching TV, and more while watching life.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later.
Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's."
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
Stop sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who DO love us.
Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally, as well as spiritually.
I hope you all have a blessed day.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving &
Never stop creating!

Need to lengthen a necklace for just one out fit? Make a necklace extension by cutting a section of chain the desired extension length. If the necklace has a lobster clasp, then you will attach a lobster clasp and tag to each end of the chain. If the necklace has a toggle, then you will attach just a lobster clasp and not a tag to each end of the chain. This will allow you to attach the lobster clasp to the toggle or the lobster clasp and tag to the necklace's lobster clasp and tag. This will add length to your necklace.
