scintillating - adjective - sparkling, brilliant
A year ago today, I lost one of my best, most scintillating friends to alcoholism. She and I had been like sisters for over fifty years. I know. This is not a good way to start a blog that is supposed to convey the positivity, the optimism needed to levitate readers from out of their dull drums, but sometimes one is forced to be real. Nonetheless, I can still view the glass as half full in the sense that Suzannie understood the meaning of scintillating mainly because she lived scintillating. As her personality was as effervescent as champagne, she didn't need to imbibe the beverage to bubble. And ironically, as it turned out, had she abstained from drinking it altogether, she'd still be shining brilliantly today. It's memory that immortalizes the deceased, though. The lights that burn so vivaciously are the ones that can never be snuffed out completely, no matter what.
Scintillate on, you "crazy diamonds" but try to stay away from artificial scintillators.
