"The idea is not to be going back to a time where things were better," Mr. Smith said, "but where the richness of each day is defined by the food you eat, the company you keep, the work you do." 

 I had a really nice lunch today with a dear friend, and then spent the afternoon working upstairs at the barn. For dinner I finished off my daughter, Sarah's, delicious healthy squash stew in the company of my two crazy dogs, and later on took an instagram photo of this beautiful orchid recently given to me by another friend. Today felt rich.
