It's been a good day

I watched Notting Hill tonight and it features the line "Today's been a good day". Strangely enough it's a phrase I've been saying more recently and, tonight, I realised there was a pattern to its occurence. I've been using it at the end of days where I've been social.

That probably sounds a bit weird. Surely a social animal like myself is always out or spending time with his mates but the truth is that last year I hid from the world. In retrospect it was completely unnecessary but that didn't seem to matter. There were plenty of excuses: working lates on Tay at the weekend, heavy workload, no money, the summer time job shenanigans, etc, etc. I was just sad really. I was wallowing in self-pity and instead of dealing with it I stayed wrapped up in my cocoon hoping that the end of the year would come quickly.

Changed days though and I've been spending more time just going out for the odd beer or, as tonight, to the cinema or spending time with other humans (and less time in the office). It's great! I'd recommend it to anyone.
