A priceless piece of time captured in your heart forever. It
is something you cannot buy, fake or pretend. This is what I want when I lay in
bed at my old frail age, knowing I did all I could with the ones that I love
the most. I want to live my life to the fullest with no regrets with my friends
and family. Disney is absolutely fucking magical!
Our trip to Disney World will probably be postponed due to
having to buy a new car. I honestly would rather spend that magical moment with
my children than a honking piece of metal. I believe the term vacation is
different for every person, I believe a vacation should be jammed packed. Everyday
there should be something exciting planned, because it is a waste of time and
money to relax in the sun. Why not just stay home and go hang out at your local
beach?
We had originally planned to go vacationing with our
friends, but I decided it would be best if we went alone. I honestly love them, but I do not want
the added stress of their frugality toward my family during a VACATION! I do
not believe everyone should make the sacrifice of flying because one family
wants to save money and drive. First of all if they do the research they will
only save a total of $375 only toward gas, excluding wear and tear, food, and
lodging. The idea of sitting in a care for 24 plus hours is not what I call a
vacation.
I may not wealthy, but I believe my family is entitled to
some luxury. I’m not talking 5 star hotels with someone at my every beck and
call. My idea of luxury means, not having to stress or penny pinch every nickel
and dime. It is called enjoyment and convenience!
I recently read an article about the artist Sting and
leaving no money for his children. He basically said he is working hard to
spend it with his family, so they can work hard and earn their own. I completely
agree with his parenting tactics. I do work hard so my family can enjoy time
together creating new memories. I do not want to have any regrets on my deathbed,
you cannot take money, but you can leave behind a legacy.
This is a new year and as I reflect I am grateful for so
many things. I am in a sacred partnership with morals and values. We share amazing children that
can drive us crazy at times, but worth every moment. He has been there for me
at my lowest and we are still working on the highest. Although I may seem
bitter at times, one thing I do know for a fact is we have strong family values.
