The Cheese Cake Factory

No two people have ever shared an absolutely identical view of the world. At least, that's what Einstein means to advocate, so I'll take his word for it. Moreover, on a closer inspection of life one feels more and more each day how the elusive concept of "happiness" is exceedingly relative. "One man's meat; another man's poison." Therefore, sometimes I amuse myself by trying to look at my life through a stranger's eyes. The exercise is quite helpful and leaves me feeling immensely humbled with gratitude at the alter of the almighty. Then again, there are times that warrant unqualified appreciation!

I went to The Cheese Cake Factory today with my very sweet and dutiful husband. He always seems to keep my wants ahead of his own needs. I found the experience really warm and it came as a refreshment for my otherwise dreary spirits.The attendant was very personable and nice. The chef had to be somewhat inventive to make the pasta I had chosen to suit my vegetarian palette, and I must say he did complete justice to the job.The ambiance was very conducive for easy and uninhibited conversation. The cakes seemed extraordinary and decadent(an indulgence I didn't allow myself but totally lusted after)! :) Consequently,I left with a bounce in my step and a smile on my face.

We live in a vile, cruel world! The enormities of our everyday lives can leave us feeling hopeless. We, therefore, must never take for granted the tiny and utterly simple blessings like The Cheese Cake Factory where we can share a laugh, breathe a few sweet words and simply enjoy in the company of our loved ones! So at the end of the day before you shut your eyes to surrender to your dreams, the thought that dominates your mind is just...Thank you!
