It’s been a tellingly long time since I’ve talked about elation. You never know when this feeling will creep up, but here it is: euphoria, rapture, exhilaration, glee.
Kurt Vonnegut’s uncle used to lament the fact that we so rarely take time to notice the good times. I forget his exact words to commemorate a good feeling - they were well practiced and pithy. But essentially, when he was having a good time, he would say it … “I’m having a hell of a good time.”
And so this is me, on September 11th of all days, saying I’m having a hell of a good time. Last night I slept four hours on an airport bench so close to a homeless man that it could be considered cuddling. I’m on my first cup of coffee at, of all places, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. From the speakers, of all songs, is Coolio’s I’ll C U When U Get There.
I’m having a hell of a good time. And this is one hell of a good song.
Hi David..it was interesting to read your post about having a hell of a good time. But, the real world will be here soon enough-October, right? I say the “real world” because that’s the true test of a human’s compassion and integrity. How does one deal with just another day? The deadlines at work, the stress of never having enough time to vacation, the fight that you had with your loved one, the agony of not telling your loved ones who much you do love them..We say it’s just another day..but it’s our day to make the most of..no matter where you are. I’m not a poet or a blogger but I see so many people who always think it’s greener on the other side when I always say, “it sure is green over here!”. All the best, Angie
I’ve been having a hell of a good time lately. It evokes swoons on my part and giddiness on his part. I’m serious, he uses the word giddy. How cool is that?
Hooray to feelin’ good!
