Life Is Good Thant Way

Tonight was one of those rare, deeply satisfying moments you wish would never end. Michelle and I sat outside and enjoyed a wonderful New York Strip dinner and then watched the sun settle over the fence. It's not often you can say there's nowhere I'd rather be, so I cherish the moment. 

Good food, good music and good company equal a life well lived.   

Before surgery I lamented the loss of food. I shouldn't have worried. My tastes have changed. My priorities have changed. My love of good food has matured. I'd rather have three or four ounces of a quality cut than a slab of something that covers the plate. I'd rather have a slice of crusty whole wheat bread and a dab of real butter than a baked potato with the works. 

And, I'd rather listen to Nora Jones and watch the sun set with Michelle than be anywhere else. 

Life is good that way.
