The Finer, and Finest, Things in Life

While pursuing the finer things in life, we often become so ingrained, so focused in the pursuit, that we do not experience the finest things in life.

• Reading a novel just for the fun of it.
• A casual stroll along the beach with nowhere to go.
• An extra half-hour at the coffee shop, catching up with friends and actually tasting the great flavor of a cup of coffee, rather than rushing it.
• A game of crazy eights with my kids.
• A quiet evening out with my wife.
• A Saturday afternoon sleeping on the couch in front of the fire.

I have a saying that "good is the enemy of the best." Sometimes the finer things of life get in the way of the finest things in life. Sometimes we settle for the finer things in life when we could be enjoying the finest things in life.
