The Life and Times of S

Celebration?

So my very good friend from work, B., asked me how I celebrated my very recent CGA success.

I told her that I celebrated by working until 8 pm. And then spending the evening at home. Alone. Calling my family in India to give them the news before I went to bed. And then falling asleep wishing my Mom was around to give me a hug.

Yeah, some celebration that was.

Anyway, I started thinking about celebrations. And I wondered how I would have celebrated. Had I got the chance to.

Vacation? Nah. Just got back from one.
Shopping? Nah. Shopped out from Christmas still.
Getting drunk? I'm a teetotaller.

I wondered if it is possible to celebrate anything without any or all of the above.
And then I realized that for me, the only way to celebrate, is dancing.
All day. All night.

Alas.
