INTERESTS: Traveling, hiking, canoeing, tennis, spending time with my kids and grandkids.
MISSES: I miss the slower pace of life of the 50's. People didn't work as much and spent more time with family, friends, and neighbors. Pleasures were simpler then and most things were inexpensive. Now we rush thru life as though we were anxious to get to the end of it instead of enjoying the trip along the way.
REFLECTIONS: Make a memory with your children, spend some time to show you care; Toys and trinkets can't replace those precious moments that you share.
