 From my email devotional:

Today's thought is:



If I had 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.
--Nadine Stair


We can't relive our lives, but we can choose today to live the way we have always wanted to live. Whether we are conscious of it or not, each day we make a choice. We choose to continue as we've been going or we choose to change.


Today we can decide to live like the kind of grown-up person who hops on merry-go-rounds, picks daisies, and dances. We can lay in the grass and watch ants work. We can choose to live today with no regrets about the past. After all, our past brought us to this marvelous place, this moment of creation, this totally new day.


What will we be like today? Will we be sullen and worried, or bright and positive? Will we be spontaneous, active, and creative? It's our choice.


Today I will live my life the way I would live it if I had it to live over.
