The Elixir of Life

Happiness happened today. Insanity happened today. It’s not very often that I am so content and at peace with myself at twelve in the night. Usually, at this deathly hour, I’d be wallowing in self pity or bothering myself over petty assignments or fallacies of people around me, but today I am super happy. I’d just recap the whole day one moment per line. That’s that!

And hopefully some sound sleep!

Edit:
Time for some indulgence. I clicked a couple of snaps, thankfully with no animate objects with their tongues sticking out. Below is the heist (Ed: will put it up in a day). Clicked in all its glory. The ‘dream’ was to make the stage at Crucible. Doing well is just the icing on the cake! Yes, National Final would have been nice. But it’s totally cool. You can’t have your cake, get it home delivered and then eat it too, all the time. I would not mind retiring now. Spending the rest of my time telling stories to my grandchildren
