My Wildly Intoxicating Friday Nights

I wanted to share with you all what I spend my Friday nights doing.  After a long week of work, cleaning, cooking, homeschooling, and all my other responsibilities, I can't wait for Friday night!

I head over to a little place to unwind.  It is near a college, so there are always college students there, lots of regulars, sometimes some new fresh faces.  Many have become friends. It is BYOB, and some nights it gets CRAZY up in there!

As I walk in I feel like that theme song from the old TV show Cheers, "Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came."  I do feel like a rockstar sometimes just walking in.

We are all there for the same reason, to relax, unwind and start off the weekend right.  We share our ups and downs of the week and let it all go as we laugh, move, release, and start to feel the lightheadedness that we all came there for.  Sometimes we use this night to help each other out by reaching out a hand, or lifting a heart.  Sometimes we just take it easy, kind of "take a breather".  Other nights, we get wild!  Like hot, sweaty, loud, and silly.

Friday nights are always a blast!  Whatever we end up doing, wherever the night takes us, it's the end of the night we all anticipate.  After all of the excitement from the night we all begin to wind down.  The affects of the night have given us all what we came for a sort of "buzz".  Friday nights, unlike any other night we all get together, we like to take that "buzz" to a different level or a "high".  

Some people are not quite into this so they take off, go on their own way.  Most of them eventually stay once or twice to experiment, and some get hooked like most of us are.  We all gather in the corner of the place, sit in a little circle, and sit nervously at first, giggling and chatting before we indulge ourselves into the unknown.  

As we all left the place tonight, we grabbed our empties and headed out to the  parking lot.  Some of us lingered and chatted, it's always hard to get behind the wheel after all that mind altering activity.  But, we gotta get home right?  I came home, still buzzing from the wonderful Friday night yoga class that I am blessed to teach, and so high from the meditation group I love to lead after that.  I am also grateful to all the regulars, friends, and new faces that I get the opportunity to share my Friday nights with each week.
