on drinking...

I did some drinking recently, more than usual. Going out for drinks in each of the last three weeks is a big deal since my "usual" is drinking on a quarterly or semi-annual basis.

That being said, I like to drink. Quite frankly, I miss drinking.

It's a pleasant change for me to lower my filters a bit. To take a few moments and just exist in the 'there' and 'then.' It's more than I usually allow.

But I only like to drink in a group, a like minded group. I enjoy interacting with others. I like the twists and turns of a conversation during an evening at the bar. I have often found camaraderie over a pint or two and I treasure those fleeting moments.

disappointing.....

Hmmm. Do you think they are disappointed because I like to imbibe a drinks occassionally or because I don't do it very often? Or maybe because I don't live in the moment as much as I could? Surely they don't begrudge me finding camaraderie?

Curious. And since they posted as Anonymous, I cannot ask them what they meant! How disappointing.
