Meaningfulness comes from different directions. Took my two best grandkids for an outing Saturday in the early afternoon. We strapped them in their kid's seats and off we went in the direction of the Mather air show. Between my wife and I we did not have enough cash between us to get into the air show proper but we also knew that the two little ones in the back would probably not last that long anyway. So we drove to a park within the flight zone of the planes and let the cherubs play on the apparatus for a while. From every direction came the jets. Each pulling G turns over our heads. The kids were more and more excited with each pass as the noise was pounding in a great crescendo.
In a flash from the past I remembered when we were living in Reno we used to get frozen yogurt and park at the end of the airport and watched the airplanes take off and land. It was a cheap date but it was wonderful in its simplicity. So was this day: cheap but very enjoyable.
That which we enjoy must not be dictated by the amount of money we spend.
Meaningfulness is more important.
