The Simple Things

Dont ya just love it when you think of things, maybe that you've done in the past, or just a conversation you've had, or maybe a certain someone, or a experience, or whateverrrrrr, and you just....smile, or laugh? I love those times!


Was just thinking of a few just now....liiiiiike


When I was little and used to go to the Ice Skating Rink when my cousin was captain of the top NZ Team. The higher ranked the team is, in Ice Hockey the BETTER the game is, so action packed, it's definitely my fave game to watch live....if you're actually THERE! :) The atmosphere, being all rugged up, snuggled up warm, watching the players pace it back and forth up and down the rink then SHMACK the ball - if it's a higher ranked game, you watch the odd punch up between players or watch them trip each other up with their sticks or flip each other over the rinks border - so intense! Love it! Definitely looking forward to watching a few high ranked teams when Ice Skating season starts up. I used to love it so much as a kid, some of my best childhood memories were at the Ice Skating Rink watching my cuz.


Another simple one, just the wind in my face - definitely a top 5 feeling! Window down in the car - the best. :)


Another memory...snorkelling in Fiji. I think it was 2005 I went. A friend text me asking if I was free in two weeks time for a trip to Fiji. When I found out he was serious, I went and asked my manager for time off and I got it! Crazy at such short notice! So, two weeks later I was island hopping with my friend in beautiful Fiji. Fave memory of the whole trip was on Octopus Island snorkelling with my friend. I'd drifted off one area of the ocean and was seeing the most brightly coloured fish then he came and grabbed me and we snorkelled for hours in this pool of fish that HAD to have been thousands, EVERYWHERE! It was innnnnnnnncredible! 


Another time....When I could zone out for 6hours or more to the music playing in what was my favourite club at the time, and just close my eyes and be taken over by the music and just dance, eyes closed, no-one to bother me, just zoning out to this music - was amazing. Amazing.


Just a very small number of memories or experiences that always bring a smile to my face! I love the memories already created and am so excited for the new memories I'm making now - always creating memories. 


I love the  power of the mind our God gave us to remember things from so long ago so vividly so we can re-live it as much as we're able to, whenever we want. So, so awesome. 


I hope everyone in the world has at least one memory they can look back on and smile.
