V-Day

"The course of true love never did run smooth...Lord! what fools these mortals be!" from A Midsummer Night's Dream, W. Shakespeare

Ok-so I'm a sucker for Santa and Christmas. The yule season makes me gush with generosity and good will towards my fellows. Valentine's Day however, makes me want to gag. And as you know-February in general makes me grouchy. Waiting in limbo between winter and spring requires greater fortitude than clearly I have.

So this morning I stumble to the coffee pot (sounds like a Dolly Parton song) to pour my morning brew and find a red Valentines-(for me!)-and a new bottle of my happy pill prescription. And this totally tickles my sour little funny bone! I actually chuckle as I pour my left over coffee into my fav mug. So who needs diamonds and wilted flowers and mega calorie candy when a little pill and a "hey, let's keep it real" 99 cent card will do? Faux-romance is just not my thing. But surprising me at the coffee pot...I confess-my cold heart melted a little.

And for the record-I'm feeling the love in the depressing month of February!
