“It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” ~Brother David Steindl-Rast
As I was preparing to write + post my weekly week-in-review post, I realized a theme via Instagram: booze. Between BBQs, birthday parties, brewery hopping and special events, last week was no bueno for my poor liver. Goal for the next week is less drinking (and, as a result, fewer boozy posted photos — my followers are probably starting to judge me) — starting immediately after today’s activities. Or, maybe tomorrow’s . . .
