Life was meant to be savored.

I have plenty of stuff to lament about. Things that have gone wrong in my life. But hey, far more has gone right than wrong. So that's what I focus on. Because lamenting is mostly a waste of time. Better to relish life. My dear sweet wife Jeanne died in 2008. After a 13-year bout with Alzheimer's. I lamented the loss. For a while. But then I got on with what Jeanne would have had me do. Fell in love again. With my Italian amore. Yes, it's better to celebrate life. If one has to lament, let it be for relatively short periods. Life was meant to be savored. Not lamented. --Jim Broede
