One of my favorite college memories is of a random, scraggly bunch of girls playing Pictionary in the common room of our dorm. We were spent and eschewed the typical weekend revelry of fraternity parties and social misfitting. We sat around in our sweats and played boardgames, still one of my favorite pastimes. My partner and I had the word “clink.” We somehow managed to score the point, and I’ve had an affinity for champagne ever since.
With New Year’s Eve behind us, the champagne flutes get packed away with the Christmas baubles. Well, not in my house. I keep the crystal glasses within reach at all times. My fridge has a bottle or two of bubbly just waiting to be popped. Don’t succumb to the mindset that champagne is only for special occasions. I believe there are reasons to celebrate every single day; it’s just a matter of identifying them.
Champagne, prosessco, sparkling wine…
I raise a glass of bubbly to you all. May 2015 bubble up with goodness. Now go find your favorite bubbly and raise a glass to all the things we are privileged enough to take for granted.
