She wondered what was down a particular lane and I said, "Let's see," and turned in.<br />"That's what I like about you," she said. "You're willing to <i>go see!</i>"<br />There was nothing in particular down that lane, but it made Mom happy to just <i>go see.</i>Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010292945051206859.post-2965745230800376822010-12-12T06:27:57.427-08:002010-12-12T06:27:57.427-08:00There is no blame

On each, I planned extra driving time everywhere so we could stop impulsively wherever we wanted. We really couldn't afford to go but I knew the kids would love it! They were 4 and 6 on the first one and 7 and 9 on the second trip but they still talk about both of them. They were wonderful times. <br /><br />My wife and I have decided that in spite of needing to pay off debt, we are going to use our entire tax refund next year to go on another trip before the kids are too old to enjoy hanging out with mom and dad!<br /><br />Life is to short to miss the time with each other!The Book Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08742929699209017621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010292945051206859.post-16874236913979371792010-12-12T04:00:23.528-08:002010-12-12T04:00:23.528-08:00I had inherited from my parents a very cautious ap...I had inherited from my parents a very cautious approach to overspending and "saving up" for special trips, purchases etc etc. But when a very close friend died tragically young at 52 I decided to take a more "live for the day" attitude. So we brought forward the dreamt of trips such as our visit to India, renovating our beloved Masia in Spain amongst many smaller special treats. Don't wait for retirement, who knows what could happen before you reach that time. Life should have as few as possible regrets.Masia Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081444074657171832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010292945051206859.post-21042411545727921422010-12-12T03:36:01.057-08:002010-12-12T03:36:01.057-08:00You are so wise, Bernie.

I've never regretted a day spent seeing something I've never seen before, learning something I didn't know, loving the people I've met and family that shared it with us. Life is short...cliche? Yes. True? Even a bigger YES.

Just a few months ago I went to go see Dracula the ballet with my aunt even though I was a bit strapped for cash (hooray for student discounts!) but it's definitely one of those performances I'm very glad I experienced.Jenna @ Falling Lettershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989828400822438656noreply@blogger.com
