The Simple Things in Life
Its amazing as you get older how the little things in life seem to matter most.

It can be anything from:
Making a great cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and lots of whip cream
Reading a good book from cover to cover on a weekend
Taking a leisure stroll around the beach where you live
Watching an old movie in HD on an HDTV
Reading my journals of 10 years ago
Putting together CD's from iTunes
The time to play video games on my XBOX and PSP
Sleeping in till 10:00AM

I guess what it comes down to is time. Having the time to do the things that matter most to you. Why don't we do these things when we're younger? My guess is we're still trying to grab the brass ring and everything that goes with it so we don't make time for the things that really matter. I guess you can call it peer pressure or even what society expects of someone like me and we seem all too anxious to please these individuals almost to a stereotypical fault. Like its our duty or something.
