Holy Days
I am not generally known for either being particularly spiritual nor excessive displays of sentimentality. But this week I found myself thinking about the holiday*, and how some people take holidays very seriously and the word itself is derived from “holy day”, but I’m not big on holidays and don’t think they’re more important than any other day. But that’s because when I stop to think about it, I believe every day is important.**
Perhaps that’s hitting me harder than usual this week because I lost a friend and artist who I had plans to make a book with. But even without the worst of mementos mori***, I try to tell those I love that I appreciate them on a regular basis, to enjoy every day and appreciate the joys of gaming, eating tasty food, performing, or just spending time in good company. I’d say today is an appropriate day to appreciate what you have, but my whole point is that *every* day is an appropriate day to appreciate what you have.
In lighter news****, if you’ve been on the Internet in the past few months, you might appreciate my poetic take on OK, Boomer.
*Thanksgiving, the one on which Christmas declared war.
**Even if I waste an inordinate amount of time doing nothing on the Internets.
***I think this is actually a legitimate case in which to use that pluralization form which so often amuses me when incorrectly applied.
****Apparently Zippo also makes flasks.
