The good things in life

When I started this blog a long time ago I thought I was only going to write about the good good thing sin life, such as food, wine, travel but that didn't last long. There were so many other things to write about, both good and bad things. James S. Huggins' Refrigerator Door has a great list of the best things in life,which is very much worth repeating. After all there are so many good things in life that we don't even think about.
