Passing the Purple Hat to You

 

From: Suchi Gupta

 


Passing the Purple Hat to  You
IN  honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her  fight with cancer.Pass  this on to five women that you want watched over..If you don't know five women to  pass this on to, one will do just fine.


IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by  Erma Bombeck (written after she found  out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I  was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if  I weren't there for the day.

I would have  burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in  storage.

I  would have talked less and listened more.

I would have  invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa  faded.

I  would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less  about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have  taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth..

I would have  shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband..

I would never  have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair  had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have  sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed  less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never  have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or  was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

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.

If you  don't mind, send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as  friends.Maybe we should all grab that purple  hat earlier.

Please send this to five phenomenal  women today in celebration of Beautiful Women's Month.

If you do, something good will  happen--you will boost another woman's self esteem.

A Candle  Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.Please Keep The Candle  Going!

This one I do ask that you please send on.By sending this on, you will think and realize how you've been blessed, up until now.This is  a disease which affects all families... no one is  exempt!
