How do you Measure forever? A recipe for life?

If you could conjure a perfect recipe for a perfect life, what ingredients would you add to the mix? Would laughter, love & simplicity be some examples of some ingredients? Children & great friends would be spice? Would it be baked like a pie or boiled like a stew? And remember… every perfect life has something trying and difficult to lead to perfection. Give me something good here people. I want to see what kind of imagination we still have out there in humanity.
