My heart is drenched in wine.....

My friend is a wine collector, his collection is vast and includes wines from all over the world.  I don't consume much alcohol, but it is such a privalage to be able to experience the decadent, delicious variety of wine he selects and share in his experience and collection.  Some friends of my friends drove in yesterday and we all went to dinner at an obscure out of the way restaurant.  The tree lined streets were beautiful with vineyards every few miles, and it was refreshing to see what looked like the hill country landscape I had become accustomed to.  upon arrival wine was flowing and the Italian restaurateur delivered a bottle for me to taste, he said it was special and not on the menu and he just wanted me to try it.  I drank small sips, very slowly hoping I would be able to stand later, I never ate much food but what I had was incredible.  Last night is like a metaphor for my current situation, I'll just take small sips of life and go slow .... Hopefully I'll be able to stand.  Today lets all try and go slow if we can, take small conscious sips of life and be happy.
