A guest at Eleven Madison Park once said – “While most people save their best bottles of wine for their best days, I save it for my worst day.”
It is a sentiment that resonated with me.
On our best days, the joy and forward momentum from the day carry us through. When I reflect on great days, special treats are rarely what I remember.
However, it is on our most difficult days that these little luxuries – a great bottle of wine, our favorite ice cream or treat, a wonderful movie, or whatever it is we consider a special treat – make a big difference. Ultimately, they help us keep perspective and build the energy to pick up the pieces the next day.
And begin again.
