\"bagpipers\"<\/a>New Year\u2019s Eve is often referred to as Amateur Night<\/em>. <\/strong>Most people that go out for libations and entertainment regularly prefer a nice steak dinner and a night of catching up on their Netflix queue at home to temporarily jacked up restaurant prices and driving on city streets with inexperienced revelers.<\/p>\n

I feel pretty similarly about going out on Saint Paddy\u2019s Day. Besides seeing too many people wearing awful shades of green (a color which only looks good on a very small percentage of the population), everyone seems to over-indulge.<\/p>\n

Many pub patrons act as if on a mission to consume as much beer, corned beef, and Irish soda bread as possible. It only makes sense that, along with the day after the Super Bowl, March 18th<\/sup> is practically a national holiday for calling in sick from work.<\/p>\n

Though not a red-letter day on my calendar, I agreed to join a few friends at a nearby Irish pub for an evening of music, a traditional buffet, and a pint o\u2019 Harps.<\/p>\n

I vowed I would enjoy the spirit of the evening as long as no one sang \u201cOh Danny Boy.\u201d (I\u2019m sorry, but that just too damn hokey Irish for me.)<\/p>\n

The highlight of the evening was the bagpipe troop. At 9:30, the Emerald Society Pipe Band toured the bar; playing a couple numbers in the two dining rooms then an extended set in the behemoth tent which was set up for the holiday to accommodate over 300 at tables and chairs.<\/p>\n

They challenged us tent-dwellers to sing along as they squeezed out America the Beautiful<\/em> then went into a very traditional rendition of Amazing Grace.<\/p>\n

Enjoying the rare opportunity to hear kilted musicians play this classic outside of a funeral for a Chicago cop or firefighter who lost their life on the job, I felt compelled to announce, \u201cWell, at least nobody died.\u201d<\/p>\n

I understood that my friends weren\u2019t privy to the internal set-up for this comment, but they got it<\/strong> well enough and we all laughed.<\/p>\n

It made me think about my penchant for making jokes in the moment. Not that I\u2019m insensitive to people or situations, but I like to make jokes.<\/p>\n

Many years ago, a friend once described this habit as a defense mechanism<\/em><\/strong> Obviously, she didn\u2019t relish, as I do, the ability to lighten things up. Sometimes, it seems, lightening up<\/em><\/strong> starts by going to a dark place.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2014, I drove into the side of an apartment building — in the middle of the day, only a couple hundred feet from where I lived. Did the floor mat interfere with my left foot\u2019s path to the brake pedal? Was I going too fast crossing train tracks before I had to make a sharp left turn into my alley? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Friends that wanted a neat and tidy explanation for the accident asked me what happened. In a serious tone, I replied, \u201cI tried to MOVE the building, but I couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

I found great perspective from bringing humor to this difficult circumstance.<\/p>\n

Years ago, I remember trying to assuage a friend\u2019s feelings while simultaneously thinking he was working himself up unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

I told him, \u201cI\u2019m not laughing AT you. I\u2019m laughing WITH you.\u201d Pointing to a spot some distance away, I added, \u201cbut from over there.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know where some of my quips or rejoinders come from, but I am so glad my observations of life come with captions that make me laugh. My humor has helped me get through many challenges.<\/p>\n

Milan Kundera, the famous Czech author, wrote a book titled The Unbearable Lightness of Being<\/strong>. I actually think it would be unbearable BEING if you couldn\u2019t infuse your days with some LIGHTNESS and LAUGHTER.<\/p>\n

Learning to bring lightness into your life is no small thing.<\/p>\n
