Since these are all things that have created for me my best memories, I continue to do as many of them as I can. We don't have to be rich and living in a mansion to enjoy these pleasures, and I feel very grateful that I have even had the privilege of doing all these things which for others in the world may not even be possible for them! I strongly believe that we must enjoy our lives, and try to share with others the things that make us happy. In this way, we are constantly making more and more happy memories.
