Earlier, I wrote about finding a new beer that amused and delighted me.  That made me think about a broader topic - the Good Life, capital G, capital L.  I have a wonderful life.  Sometimes I forget that, if I get bogged down in the minutia of minor little hassles.  I have a terrific husband, Mr. Wonderful, who has been in my life since 1974.  I have two great daughters and a great son-in-law, all of whom actually enjoy spending time together with each other and with me.  From personal experience of 54 years (and 4 months) of living in the big world, I know it's rare to have a happy, loving family.  I'm lucky to be able to live in a home I like that is affordable for me.  I'm lucky to have a job I like that doesn't interfere much with the rest of my life.  I'm lucky to be comparatively healthy.  Because I have an abundance of food choices, I have that common abundance condition - overweight.  If I reversed that overweight condition, I'd be spectacularly healthy.  I'm lucky that simple things make me happy - simple meals, books, movies, music, cats, beer, tea, cookies, taking a walk. -- Nan
