To measure the goodness of life

To measure the goodness of life by its delights and pleasures and safety is to apply a false standard. The abundant life does not consist of a glut of luxury. It does not make itself content with commercially produced pleasure, the nightclub idea of what is a good time, mistaking it for joy and happiness. On the contrary, obedience to law, respect for others, mastery of self, joy in service--these constitute the abundant life.
Thomas S. Monson, "In Quest of the Abundant Life", Ensign, Mar. 1988, 2

Low Carb Salad

1 head of lettuce, roughly chopped
3 fried bacon strips, chopped (5 Tb. of bacon bits)
1 cucumber, sliced

Add you favorite vinagret (or ranch to keep it low carb). Surprisingly cheap and delicious!
