Every year I get annoyed with the fireworks going off for days and days and days. I stay annoyed, with my jaw clenched. I'm basically Scrooge of Fireworks.
This year, I decided to not do that. The fireworks bring people joy. Who am I to be angry at someone else's joy?
And you know what? It's made a difference. It's not always been easy. Sometimes I had to sit there and mutter "Someone's joy someone's joy someone's joy" whenever I was listening to boom after boom after boom. But at least I wasn't actively being angry about it.
Tonight I watched a bunch of them and actually felt a little wonder and joy myself.
So yay.
