DH and I were talking the other night...something he said made me realize we're living a good life.
He and an older gent (in his 70's and works 2 part-time jobs to make ends meet) went golfing and to dinner. DH paid the bill. When the older gent protested, DH said to him, "Ya know, it's ok. You see where my wife and I live. We have enough."
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
That is a good life, when you can help others and do it so gracefully
For me, "best" usually involves comparisons of some sort. Good, better, best. I live my conscience/beliefs and have all the basics and more. I have been loved, I have loved, I am healthy for now and still love getting up in the morning so maybe that's as good as it gets. If I imagine all the paths I might have taken and how they might have been "better", I would be very unhappy indeed.
