To Those Who Appreciate

"But I hate sweaters"

"Carissa! It's not about the sweater itself so much as the spirit of the appreciation!"

Yes, the Sweater Appreciation Club has officially spread to the west side. I'm totally excited.

Things, at least for this particular aspect of my life, are going swimmingly. I've got a great, excited, vice president. Alot of spirit, and thirty five members in counting!

I'm totally excited for this to really take root. I've already picked my sweater for next Thursday.

But like I told Carissa, sweaters are great, yeah, that really can't be denied. However, it is really just the whole energy surrounding the SAC that makes it so special. The sweater needs to be appreciated, that's true, but really for me it's about how something as simple as a sweater can be so positive.

I mean, the day before, the hours before even, things just felt lost.

And I'm not saying that the SAC cleared my mind or anything, but by george it was a successful distraction from everything that's been going on. Isn't that cool enough?

It's similar to that line in Dogma, when Serandipity says something like

"It isn't necessarily what you have faith in, but that you HAVE faith."

I think that applies to this situation here. I mean,

It isn't necessarily that you have appreciation for sweaters, but just that you HAVE appreciation.

Maybe that's a strech, but I think you all get the point.
