Later

 

Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something...

When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again.

Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.

So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.

So.

That said - I'm planning a trip back to Paris.  Just me and one of my dearest and most fun friends.  


Me and Vickie



Just the two of us, armed with a list (I do love a list!) of places to shop and eat and walk and sit for some very serious Paris people watching. 






 We've got about a year to make plans, think about it, dream about it, and squeal about it.


We've both spent time in Paris so we've seen the things you should see.  This trip is going to be a little different.  Definitely a "girl's trip."

Donald has always been sweet and patient with me when I shop.  But.  Knowing he's being sweet and patient isn't the same as enjoying the whole shopping experience.  There's a big difference.  Vickie, like me, loves to shop.  The hunt for a vintage Hermès scarf is an experience most husbands just don't understand.  The hunt for a vintage Hermès scarf with Vickie has possibilities I can't even begin to imagine.


I intend to do a wee bit more research before we leave.  And many of my resources are close at hand 😊




















And for additional "research" I have a couple more lists:
