Foggy brain today, so just a quote, maybe:

"I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.  I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.  I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.  When my child kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now get washed up for dinner."  There would have been more I love yous, more I'm sorrys, 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."

 - From Erma Bombeck's "If I Had My Life to Live Over Again"

Yes, God, friends and love and moments, please.
