In life, we can either let our experiences make us bitter, or we can channel that feeling towards being a good example in order to improve things.

Those special occasions

On thursday evening, I went to my best friend's wedding and it was absolutely amazing. Plus, it's more fun when it's your best friend than someone you haven't seen since junior high because you know more people and so it's more enjoyable. Anyway, it was really nice. One of the things that was very interesting was this group of young lubavitch gymnists that the chasan knows and who perform at weddings. And man are they limber, doing splits and backward summersults on a small dance floor among other things. The dancing is always the funnest though. While walking to the car, I asked one of my friends what she thought and she said to ask her when she's not so exhausted. Lol.

On shabbos, I came over to their home in the afternoon and eventhough there was a bunch of people then, the place was packed during shalos seudos. And so we just had a buffet and sat or stood where ever. Overall, it was a very nice weekend.

Nothing like a weekend with friends to refresh the spirit.

After weddings, I always find myself dancing to myself, trying to figure out why I can't pull all of those entertaining moves. Two left feet.

I know exactly what you mean...! When its a closer friend or family member simchas are just so much more enjoyable! I am always happy for the host/ess etc but that makes it all the more special!

I love weddings of close friends and relatives, and I really don't like going to weddings where I I’m invited out of politeness, and where I go out of politeness.

Josh, oh well, there's always the simple circle dancing right?

FG, exactly

prag, that's happened to me before like a few years ago.
I wanted to go though b/c I like going to stuff. But it's not the same.

DJ, thank you

EC, Yeah it was great
