Enjoy It

Life can get so busy that we miss out on the very joy of living. I guess the economic melt down has a melting effect on our ability to remember that this world was created for our enjoyment. We try to cut down on expenditure as much as possible, hence, family times out become very few. Our view of life becomes narrow as we try to focus on what we love to refer to as the essentials of life.

Well! Yesterday my husband and I decided to break that mold. We decided that despite our limited resources we were going to deviate from the norm of our humdrum existence and go on a little trip with our friends, Jimmy and Melba. We had quite a day. In fact, just being out together in nature seemed to have a rejuvenating effect on both our marriages. It was truly fun driving to places of scenic interest. The cares of life seemed distant as we spent time recapturing our first love.

At the end of the day, we were very happy that we did not stay home just for the sake of cutting costs. We believe that it was definitely worth the expense. Love, romance and excitement do have a place in one's family life. If you are thinking of scaling down on expenses that's okay but once in a while... recapture love's adventure. You'll find out that it's worth it.

Remember... take time to smell the roses. It will be worth it.
