Today's focus will be on what's important in life.

Simply put - it's not what you have - it's what you do. Your experiences are everything. At the end of a long life, the thing you will remember will be your experiences. I won't remember the DVDs I bought or even the BMW convertible, but I will remember meeting a puppy named Grace in the park on a Saturday evening (see Apr. 24th entry.) I will remember watching the festivities at the San Jacinto monument with Pennie last weekend. I will remember that crazy dance at the Hardee's while at college. (Haven't heard that one? Ask me sometime.) haha

This weekend, Pennie and I have a lot of "to do's" scheduled. We are planning on taking a bike ride around downtown Houston Sunday. We will probably take in a ride on the new light rail system and then swing by the Toyota Center to attend the kickoff party for the Houston Comets season. None of these things will cost much money (I assume the rail is pretty cheap,) but each of them will create invaluable memories. I am also sure that some spur-of-the-moment tangent will enter into the picture at some point during the weekend as it did last weekend when we took in a softball game "because it was there."
