Dear Dinner With Friends,

There is nothing better.  When I think in terms of the success I want to have in my life, for me that is determined by having, building and maintaining healthy relationships.  Dinner with friends, fresh food and red wine, intelligent conversation, respect, learning from one another while expressing ourselves- there is nothing better than dinner with friends.

Taking time to eat together, drink together, and talk- a rejuvenating experience that gives me strength and energy to re-face the rest of life.  I get more satisfaction from one dinner with friends than I ever got from my designer jeans or my sports car.  Dinner with friends has reminded me that human connection is actually what we crave the most.  Communication.  Why do we put such an emphasis on material gain when it is community that actually fulfills us?
