St. Valentine's Day

It seems that it is hip to be against holidays anymore.

But I am not.

Sure, plenty in my life could make me crass and bitter, but I resist.

So I have celebrated with my love, and I will continue to celebrate today. And I will continue to celebrate in my way.

I try to enjoy every day, but I also take advantage of the opportunities I am given: for love, for joy, for sensuality.

Say what you will about romantics and fools. I do not regret taking a day off from work, having a beautiful bouquet of tulips, lilies and mums in my living room, or spending time with the woman I love.

Good for you. I've been thinking about rituals lately and how they so often 'ground' us in life. Why not take a day to smell the roses?

I took the train into the city and had lunch with my husband, which was lovely. I brought him the rolled up newspaper he left behind that morning, which was apt as he spanks me with it! LOL

Rob,
Is that at all like being asked to cut the switch that will be used on you? ;)

I'm glad you had a good day, too!

I hadn't thought about it like that before but I do like the comparison. I'm not very brave about retrieving any implement actually. It usually takes a threat of extra strokes and putting me on the count of 3 to move in that direction. Invariably the count goes..1..2..two and a half, two and three-quarters...
I'll be thinking about this now each morning when I pick up the paper in the driveway.
