"An early practitioner of reflective journaling was Thomas Jefferson... One of his biographers quoted Jefferson as saying 'I was in the habit of abridging and commonplacing what I read meriting it, and of sometimes mixing my own reflections on the subject' (Cunningham, 1987, p. 9).

Happy Drunk
Happy Drunk
Give me beer and whiskey, whiskey and beer,
I’ll drink ‘til my mind and the moon are set.
Play me a love song called Do not Forget
Make me a promise, and make it sincere.
Fill me with longing and loving and fear;
Hear me reciting the same old regrets;
Tell me with smiles that we two are ill-met
Then lean into me and close to my ear
Hiccup. Sing whispers out of tune.
Build me a house made of deuces and nines;
Breathe on it whiskily, watch it fall down.
Watch hearts lose again, hers flushing with mine.
See me from under a drooping eyelash;
What you see is the dregs that she left in the glass.
N. Walsh
