The state of mind you reach when you look at your life in all it's imperfection, and say "good enough".

Contentment is true peace of mind and has absolutely nothing to do with any external pleasure or condition, but rather your attitude.

There is no natural limit to desiring things. You will go on desiring more and more your whole life until you consciously decide "good enough".

Guy 1: "I'm feeling contentment right now. I think my life is good enough, despite all its imperfections."

Guy 2: "The enemy of 'great' is 'good enough.'

Guy 1: "Maybe, but 'good enough' is also the best friend of 'happiness' "

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
