Rising from Ash Wednesday

I was as excited for today as I've been in a while.  Tied one on last night to get my money's worth and spent the day feeling relieved - relieved that I wasn't going to be doing that again for a while.  Booze will be there when this period of Lent is over.  I'm hopeful that I will thrive in the coming days and weeks.  I don't want to be unrealistic or set myself up for failure, but I know I am capable of more than I am currently producing.  It certainly can't hurt.  I'm hopeful.
