To me? Hmm. Well..for one thing..spending time with friends and family. Traveling. Having new experiences and learning about different cultures. Enjoying all the 'little moments.' Appreciating nature.

IDEK if my answer makes any sense but..hope it helps?

eta: Oh and being in good health definitely makes the list too. *facepalm*

I think a good life should involve these things: being grateful for your blessings. Having the courage to make a difference where you can. Loving with all your heart and safeguarding love which others extend you. Respecting others and yourself. Seeking wisdom. Living with integrity.

And for me, "the good life" includes love, family, friends, books, a home, good health, travel, food, music, art, beauty. Oh, and a good night's sleep :)

nothing more important than a good night's sleep to help you appreciate the awesomeness in life. ;)

ty, bb, this was tres helpful!

hey bb, sorry, i just have a quick follow up question for you: what do you think it takes to live a good life?

jehane_writes February 19 2011, 17:29:20 UTC

Integrity and respect. Being unafraid to fight for the important things, and being wise enough to accept that you can't change the world. A sense of wonder and gratitude. Commitment and hard work. Faith, hope and love - and the greatest of all these is love. :)

in my good life, it should include books, good tv shows and movies, good music, musicals, friends, family, home, traveling, FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD, good health, YOU.

being grateful for what you have. enjoying and cherishing all the little and big moments in life. loving with all your heart. smiling and passing on a good word to people where they deserve it. oh and not have to judge others and not be judged in return.

that to me, is a good life! :)
