I saw parts of Jennifer Lopez' interview with Diana Sawyer on ABC too... the parts in which she talks about how Ben proposed to her. If I remember correctly, she kept on repeating, "It was the best day of my life!"

I can't remember the best day of my life. I mean, I've had a number of very good days... I just can't remember any particular day that dawned and set prior to a year ago, that I could site as the best of my entire life. My memory sucks like that... I think I will always only be able to remember the best day within the last 365 days or less. It's hard to compare feelings across time.

What defines the best day of one's life anyhow? The day one was the happiest and most satisfied? But if the feelings last only one day, that day, it isn't really the BEST day... I'd say the best day is one in which something happened or started that brought happiness and satisfaction, though maybe not the most happiness or satisfaction, that continued to be there for the rest of one's life or for a long time afterwards... and the day was also remembered fondly for as long.

I mean, if not, I can say I had a very distinct happiest-day-of-this-year, though I don't really remember it too fondly... strange as that is...

Man, I'm just blabbering now...
