Marlene’s Spring Must-Haves

We all have our favorites...favorite people, favorite places, & favorite things.  And I am no exception.  But how do you have your favorites without turning into a snob??

I'm starting to feel like the older you get, the more you think certain things are better than others.  You start to get set in your ways about a lot of things.  And that's what's happening to me.

Like many people who live here, I have my favorite beach.  I like the fact that there's a bathroom and an outdoor shower nearby, and lifeguards around just in case.  A friend of mine who lives in a beach town used to meet me at my beach, so I wouldn't have to come to hers!  Then I realized how ridiculous that was, and I started offering to meet her at her beach instead.  I must admit it was hard for me at first, but I tried it and it wasn't so bad.  Sometimes you just have to compromise in the name of friendship.

With some things though, I'm not willing to compromise.  I have my favorite gym, and there is no other gym for me.  Of course I teach there too, but I would never want to teach or be a member anywhere else.

If these things make me a snob, so be it.  I think my beach is better than yours, but I will never tell you that.  I'll keep that to myself.  :)
