My Funny Valentine

Yes, it's true. Valentine's day looms. I think I can officially say that I dislike the day. I love on every day BUT Cupid's commercial consumerfest. Ohhh man. Single, coupled, in love or out, it is a frontrunner in the race for least favorite holiday (losing, quite naturally, to the boring ones that at least buy me a day off from work).

This year's valentine's goodies include but are not limited to the following: nice 'n nasty fortune cookies (I made 'em); personalized undies (a recommended RIOT at http://www.teeshirtgallery.com/index.html - mine say, among other things, "open 24 hours"); homemade heart soap with poetry inscribed, and some generally goodly golf fun. And for MOI? Yes, something for my tortured, deserving, overgrown and overworked ticker: the daily reminder. Thar she blows: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9517553. I got two with gentle happy reminders for those days when I am falling off the wagon. 1) I live in joy and motion. 2) I want to be forever the me that greets change with open arms and heart. This last will remind me that my new job quest (not exactly as I would have planned it) is an opportunity. Change to be embraced.

Valetine's day is a good chance to embrace some self love. Or some acceptance. Yeah, that sounds palatable. I will try to get there first.

Speaking of love...I love being back and hearing from y'all too!
