If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again by Diane Loomans

If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again by Diane Loomans

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting,
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power and more about the power of love.

WELSH 29 OCTOBER -02 NOVEMBER 2012

Penuhkan tangki minyak dulu. Perjalanan kami bermula seawal 7.30 pagi 28 Oktober, menuju Oxford. Bermalam di rumah seorang rakan di Middlesex, London. Menziarahi cousin yang baru sahaja mendapat cahaya mata pada keesokan harinya. Kemudian bertolak ke Wales lebih kurang pada pukul 10.30 pagi Isnin 29 November.

Telah pun memasuki wilayah Wales, papan tanda bertulis bahasa Inggeris dan bahasa tempatan. Perjalanan ke Caravan yang terletak di Phwelli mengambil masa 6 jam dari London termasuk berhenti rehat untuk makan dan solat.
