Delicious Life

“Life is a buffet, which I try to enjoy to the fullest by filling my plate again and again.” Delicious life, a great buffet! I do not simply eat to live. I live to eat! I live to play; I live to love all life can give. I sit down at the table of delicious life, a great buffet, where (with all the dear souls I love) I hope to always get to stay. The tenderest of beef filet is life’s profundity (its meat!) Delicious life - a great buffet! I heap my plate with things to eat. Each new thing tried -a new flavor adds to the menu of each day. Desserts are memories I savor! Delicious life – a great buffet. Oct. 31, 2021

Hello Andrea ... a great poem to recite indeed Andrea. Without life, I guess there is nothing for an individual. Really well done Andrea - Lindsay

Good luck in the contest my friend a good philosophy to write about, I like the lines 'The tenderest of beef fillet, it's life's profundity(its meat).' Some disapprove of meat in a diet, but as long as we don't exceed two meals a week of it, my father in law lived to 93, and ate meat every all his, life, he was sharp and read the newspaper with a magnifying glass as his one eve was bad, from cover to cover daily. Though provoking and great to read Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Epicurus is jealous! And if delicious, why sweat 'nutritious?' Smiles, Gershon

The optimism is all over the place here "Delicious life - a great buffet! I heap my plate with things to eat."

Andrea, I thoroughly enjoyed your "delicious life." I've told all my friends and family not to cry when I'm gone because I've had the very best life anyone could ever have! Seems like you have, too. I haven't entered this contest because I can't come up with a single-line motto...so many would suit me, I think.
