What Makes a Good Life?

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

This seems like such an easy question, but for each of us, the answer is different.

The things that calm my soul are so simple. My sweet family. My small but important garden. A beautiful sunset. A healthy and delicious meal with my honey. My love.

I grew up in the volatile times of the 60’s and 70’s. Experiencing the assassination of our great leaders of reform, witnessing the craziness of Woodstock and burning bras, proud of the Supreme Courts decision on Roe versus Wade, and watching the horrors of the Vietnam War formed my views at an early age and have not wavered over the years. I have faced insurmountable challenges along the way. But life taught me to be brave and face my fears, moving forward no matter what. There was no challenge left undone, no heartbreak left unfelt, no chance I didn’t take. I refused to be defined by what others thought I should do or what other people were doing. I learned that you can either sit back and let life go screaming by, or jump in and make a change….left, right or barreling straight ahead. It’s your choice.
