One of the challenges of writing a blog on a regular basis is trying to take my theme--psychology in every day life--and fit it into situations on a regular basis.
As with today, which in the Christian calendar is Fat Tuesday, a day to revel and party before atonement on the way to Easter. I could discuss the historic roots and the understanding that partying satisfies a basic part of the human condition. Or I could discuss the role guilt plays in it all. Or I could speak in terms of positive psychology and say that we should celebrate every day we are six feet above ground.
But I won't do any of those things, as they all strike me as a little trite. So I give you good wishes and what I found to be a charming video of what the day was when the celebration was a simpler affair. I want to wish you all a happy Mardi Gras and I hope you celebrate your life today...and tomorrow as well.
