I once read about a sophisticated interior decorator who ended nearly every evening meal by savoring a single Godiva chocolate. At 100, she was looking svelte and stylish and feeling happy and grateful. 

Her lesson to frequently enjoy a small, luxurious pleasure extends beyond indulgence in good chocolate. It reminds us to always choose quality over quantity ~ a piece of Godiva chocolate, not a sleeve of Oreos; one cashmere sweater, not a dozen pill-prone knockoffs; tickets to the theatre, not every silly new movie; thoughtful conversation, not meaningless babble. 

Choosing quality over quantity takes self-control and awareness. It also takes a certain amount of discernment and acumen. If we pay attention, we can learn to choose well and experience, in moderation, the finer things in life.
