TFTD

Being selective in choosing activities, in choosing 
friends, in choosing material possessions fosters 
unexpected appreciation. 
Too much of any one thing 
negates whatever specialness might have been realized. 
If we surround ourselves with acquaintances, we never 
fully share in knowing a few people well.
 If we surround 
ourselves with "toys," we never learn how we really 
want to spend our time.

Awesome TFTD, Mel!

Love this last line...

" If we surround ourselves with "toys," we never learn how we really want to spend our time."

How true that is!

So true.
Speaking of toys...oh my....it gets worse every year. Some adults can't even sit at dinner without their toy.
Speaking of kids...I'm so glad my parents gave me the opportunity to develop an imagination.
