Adam and I were talking today about having drinks tomorrow to celebrate exciting prospects and the results of the day (his job interview and my interview with my potential future thesis advisor), and I think I've been inspired after a day of contempt, self-pity, fire-fueled diatribes, and general frustrations. As I grow up, it bothers me more and more that my bad days and bad moods are often so unjustified. I have a really great life and there is no reason to forsake that fact. In fact, it is ungrateful and immature to do so.
That being said, I have a great life with so many wonderful possibilities and a good head on my shoulders. I want to celebrate that! My friends are genuine people with passions, inspirations, and integrity, and I want to celebrate that too! Sorry for any involuntary gagging I may have conjured in you, but the best part of my day (besides the unintelligible jabbering with my niece and nephew - one of my favorite forms of communication) was realizing how much I want to have drinks with my favorite people just to celebrate how good things are. If my Unity church events included drunkenness, I imagine it would resemble my mental image of celebration drinking.
I'm going to start doing that. For particularly special prosperous weeks, something better that pbr or yuengling will make a guest appearance. I don't want to feel like things are bad because I logically know that they are not. Things come together effortlessly, and until they do, let us drink!
