A Valentine Blog For My Friends
Does anyone like Valentine’s Day? If you are NOT in a relationship there is a tinge of mockery and pity in the air. If you ARE in a relationship, but are currently in a funk about it (cuz such seems to be the cyclical nature of romantic/sexual love), any attempts at celebrating this day of pepto bismol pink feel forced and creepy, and if you are madly in love and having great sex, do you really freakin’ care that it’s February 14th?
This weekend I called my friend Jane crying. There aren’t that many people you can call crying who won’t try to dish out bad advice before trying to get off the phone and get back to their lives. Jane has a life, but she has a big spirit, and she’s a great friend. She invited me over and we listened to the Indigo Girls (who rock!…and explain the previous post) and ate chips and green chile salsa from Trader Joe’s and then everything in my life was OK again. The option to buy OTC drugs online buy cialis from canada ensure that you get real value for your bike. Again, it only works if you are icks.org lowest price on levitra aroused. Soy that is bad levitra purchase icks.org for you is typically GMO, and not fermented, which is primarily found in processed foods. If someone is experiencing any of these symptoms, your physical therapist will first: Examine your medical history, and great site buy generic viagra discuss any previous surgery, fractures, or other injuries to your head, neck, or jaw. That kind of friendship pulls me out of myself and self-pity and into a world of music, food, laughter, and exciting things to do. This kind of relationship is not glamorous or romantic, but it feeds my soul, gives me strength, and builds me into a woman who can give to the world. Just like how in Sex and the City (love that show!), the friendship between the women made them capable of being themselves in their work and relationships, a friend like Jane makes it possible for me to risk failure and still come home again. There is no Friends Day (that I know of…do you?), so today I send a big cheezy Valentine (what the hell is a Valentine anyway?…all I can imagine is that stupid horror movie)…I send great waves of love and appreciation to all my friends who keep me real, strong, and in love with life. I love you all (and you know who you are cuz you read my blog 😉
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s day is of course as corporatized and stuffed with hallmark sponsoring as any other American holiday.
But I Love the holiday, regardless of whether i happen to be sharing it with another. Partly because it’s about declaring things you love, like 14 mile hikes into the valley, amy goodman on democracy now, and labradors that lean on you. But mostly because it follows the Worst holiday ever, and the entire month that comes with it: x-mas and the month of december; which is just 31 days to get through without too much incident, or gagging at all the canned corporate holiday cheer and good will. And because it’s the beginning of the beginning of spring, nuff said.
