A Blog Dedicated to the Good Life.

I have wanted for some time to have the discipline to keep a blog, but never had the foggiest idea as to how to unite all the various things that I thought to blog about: family, friends, cooking, parties, poetry, travel, the South, politics, work, etiquette, Paris, inspiration, and the list goes on. It occurred to me recently that the common thread in all of my potential blogging topics is that they are all aspects of what I call the Good Life. The Good Life is the concept that life is truly sweet and that living life should be savored. This does not mean that life does not present sadness, challenges, heartache and grief, but it does mean that, at least in my experience, the longer I live, the more I come to realize that goodness and blessings abound. This blog dedicated to living the Good Life: to remembering that life is good when times are tough and to sharing my ways of realizing and living the Good Life with others. In that spirit, I hope to post small snippets from my Good Life -- recipes, pictures, inspriations, memories, and musings -- and hope that in so doing this blog will inspire others to live well. This is all a round-about way of saying Welcome to the Good Life. Come In and Stay Awhile.
