Strangely enough, a piece in the NYTimes this morning had something to say about this, and I found it summed up my idea of the "Good Life" pretty well. The piece was written by a nurse who had a patient die suddenly.

What can one do? Go home, love your children, try not to bicker, eat well, walk in the rain, feel the sun on your face and laugh loud and often, as much as possible, and especially at yourself. Because the only antidote to death is not poetry, or drama, or miracle drugs, or a roomful of technical expertise and good intentions. The antidote to death is life.
