Cheers! as our British friends say...

It was a wonderful lunch with very good friends. There is much to be said in favor of the Chinese dim sum style of eating. The sharing of food could easily represent the sharing of life. It was good to be out in the world where I was fortunate enough to see other friends as well. So, yes, I am not completely healed, and I still need my pain medication, but it was an excellent day to get out into the world. I can honestly say that a little pain and discomfort was well worth it. After all, it is important to enjoy and appreciate life, when and while we can.
