Some have fun

Everyone has fun on a tropical vacation. Some have more fun than others. When you are old and have only memories, how thin is our reserve, and yet how complete. You can't go back and undo that choice to keep your top on or take it off.

They say it is better to regret something you've done than something you've never done. But once you do something, chances are, you don't regret it at all. 

Did anyone in the end care if you went topless on that beach that day? No. But you did. And you are glad you did. Your friends, they had fun, too, but your memory of that day is better, because you took the chance. You stepped out of your comfort zone. You tried something you didn't think you'd do. And as soon as you did it, you felt like a super star.

That's fun to find my picture on this site. I took this picture in 2006 at Mullet Beach on St. Maarten. I originally posted this picture on Picasa, but my account was suspended because somebody complained about these pictures. Happy to see it back online ;-)

Thanks Dear Reader! It's great to hear from the creator of the image. We're not sure where we came across it, but so glad we did. It's truly lovely. If only we could somehow transport ourselves into that place at that time. Beautiful people in a beautiful place. Thanks for taking it!
