True enough. And the people who do actually think of you will probably want the best for you and would support you even if you danced upside down. (and I don't mean the Diana Ross song here. )

Something else: even people who never touched a drop of alcohol get older, and get unwell sometimes. We can't expect to be 18 again once we sobered up. Counting our blessings - small as they may look - is a good strategy. Maybe your dancing was off, but the guy or girl in the wheelchair would probably sell their soul in order to be able to do what you did.

I trimmed the hedges in the front yard today. Tedious work, lots of cleaning up to do, but the sun was out there, 23°C, and I enjoyed the whole time I was busy, even though today I felt quite a bit of pain. I concentrated on the fact that I was able to do this, that I had enough functioning limbs to pull it off. It's not earth shattering, but I can still do this and doing chores gives me a good feeling afterwards.
