I am a work in progress

God, I miss Annie. She is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She sent out an email to the members of her little gym with the following note:

If not now, when?

"If I had my life to live over, I'd try to make more
mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up.
I'd be sillier than I have been on this trip. I know of a
very few things I would take seriously. I would be less
hygenic. I would take more chances. I would take
more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more
rivers and watch more sunsets.
I would burn more gasoline and eat more ice cream and
less beans. I would have actual troubles & fewer
imaginary ones. you see I'm one of those people who
lives sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had my life to live over
again, I'd have more of them, if fact I'd have nothing else,
just moments, one after another instead of living so many
years ahead each day. I've been one of those people
who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, hot
water bottle, rain coat ...
& parachute.
If I had my life to live over I'd go places and do things and
travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over I would start barefoot earlier in
the spring & stay that way later in the fall. I would play
hooky more. i wouldn't make such good grades, except
by accident. I'd ride more merry-go-rounds. I'd pick more
daisies."
