Good friends,good food,good time

a wise buddhist monk says "when you love life,life loves you back".im blessed with recovery of health,supported by good friends,and able to enjoy reading,painting n cooking,able to exercise outdoors.im contented with what life is. yesterday,i caught up with oldhigh school mate i havent seen for over 40 years.revive old memories of younger days when in high school,we did silly things together.love swimming again after not being in pool for two years in lockdown.her bathroom is open air,sunlite streams in n you can view trees outside.i like balinese bathrooms. my friend took the trouble to cook delicious devil curry,and even shaped the meatballs into eyeballs with cheese and olives,she had a tough life growing up but has now made it in life after career as legal adviser to investment banking and now a businesswoman.im happy she generously still cares for old friends.but im saddened to hear my high school friend Wee Wee passed away from cancer last year in the US.sometimes we forget life is short.with covid and cancer this year,i feel ive a second lease on life.i do my own thing and not bothered by what others think.live for ypurself,not others.love life and life will love you back
