Simple Pleasure are not fleeting

Do you remember your first real kiss? I bet you remember their name, how old you were, what they looked like and a few other details.

Do you remember your first 5K, 10K or marathon? Most can recall the race, their time and maybe even the sensation of the last kilometer.

Is the memory of your first truly epic ride burned into your skull? You can probably still recall the person who convinced you it would be a good idea, the exact length and the location.

Does your last powder day still drive conversations after a few pints at the local pub on a snowy day?

Can you till recall the smell and sense of fear of your first solo journey?

These simple acts have staying power. They outlive their own very short time frames and fill the years after with memories and lessons.

Now do you remember as clear as day the first time you sat down at your new TV? What show did you watch? What did you learn about yourself or your friends? Did it spurn you on to grow even more?

Do remember your first cell phone with fond memories and reminisce about it with friends.

Each time you open the bill for the satellite are you filled with the good vibrations that time and money has given

Enough said. Money and time are short. Memories are what you are after.
