What is the measure of a good life?

Andrew Sean Greer surprises himself with his answer.

I think it’s day to day.  I think it’s every day.  Not compromising.  You know, every day having a great day, a great hour and not missing it.  I don’t think it’s saving up for the end.  I think that would be ridiculous, so I guess that’s my answer.  I didn’t even know I felt that way.
