When I was thinking of something to blog about this quote just sort of popped into my head. Not really sure why, but I figure I'll go with it.
"The best things in life aren't things."
is a quote credited to Arthur Buchwald. Buchwald was a well known columnist for the Washington Post. His satire of American politics made him well known though sometimes under appreciated.
My sister went off with her friend for vacation and both my parents were working, so I was home all alone. Instead of gloating about being left with nothing to do my whole vacation (okay, I admit, there was some of that too) I laid out in the sun on the porch with my dog.
Sure, maybe I didn't jet off to the Bahamas on vacation, and I'm not singing in Notre Dame like some of my classmates, but I am happy and loved. I figure I'm not so badly off after all. What ever you did or are doing for your vacation remember to look for the truly important things in life.
(ps. I sort of feel like a cereal box saying that :D)

Well stated, Emma, and I really admire your attitude :) I agree. I know people who have all the material objects they want -but other parts of their life, the important parts, aren't so great.
