Flandry, aged sixty-one, remembers his dead, Kossara, Dominic, Hans and many more, but also enjoys health, money, power, friends, women, interesting important work and a breakfast souffle, prepared by Chives, served with the outer wall retracted to show the roof garden of Terran and extra-terrestrial flowers with a singing Cynthian yaoti and a view of the towers of Archopolis, blue sky, white clouds, sparkling aircars as well as a cool breeze and machine pulse - also a cigarette by a fountain.
OK. Life is good for Flandry back on Terra.

Well, life is enjoyable. Not the same as "good".
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Well, if you were as fortunate as Flandry, it was both good and enjoyable.
Ad astra! Sean
