I tend to agree. My best memory of last year was my vacation, which was a splurge for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to think of a posession that made me happy for a long time. I do enjoy the memories of beach vacations when there is snow on the ground or when the smell of a specific food takes me back to a vacation spot. There is nothing like it. That's why I was thinking this is a year for a huge vacation. It should be cheaper to fly and why not? When are we going to do it? When we are old and decrepit? I think not.
ReplyDeletedoesn't it depend on who the memories are made with?
ReplyDeleteGood memories are good memories. Why qualify them?
