hmmmm. I've enjoyed the chocolate and reminding people that I love them. I suppose this day forces it, forces one to remember the necessity or hearing that you're loved, the value of saying it, the crude inadequacy of its devaluation most other days of the year... a few times I wanted to say "bah humbug"... but remembered that's another grossly commodified holiday. Maybe i got bit by the valentines bugg. Maybe this is one of the few times that I'm actually pretty optimistic about doing it right.
hey... i'm gushy all the time. when I'm not playful or silly, I'm not at my best. So I've been soaking up a lot these days: gaining some perspective on what it means to love patiently, some insight on some of my baggage, and more hopefullness that something magical is not just due me, but evidenced in ways I sometimes fail to see.
I've got great loving friends. I heard from ButtaFlySoul and Solas (two of my homies from DDC). They both offered bear huggs, though through voicemail songs and text messages. If I ever lose sight of how graciously them fools love me, I need to be slapped. "sometimes my focus is so locus I'm loco", I have said.
and yeah... I enjoyed a weekend getaway with my sweetie, and he even offered a hugg and kiss today. And a few other people (among them strangers) somehow found the need to tell me that I'm half-cute. One was a crack-head starbucks woman who I graciously referred to as the official starbucks hostess, to which she replied: "so why I gotta be the starbucks hoe,.... wit'sho phyne seff". "but I said hostess".... I then corrected.... after which she whispered: "i know... i just dropped the "stess" to see what you'd say". Gosh, I really needed that...
i suppose life is pretty good. (and that tomorrow, or the next day, when I forget that, I'll have this damn blog to read).

i really needed a laugh today and that made me pull out of the stuff i have been rolling with it at the day job ... mercury is in retrograde, but i ain't got to be retro - grade with him ... you dig... it is all about choice and perception... and i choose to add more laughter and lightness to my world with the intention that it will flow into the universe's abundant river of love, laughter, peace, light and goodness. chat withcha later ... see you tomorrow night ... love and peace, your u street sista - ananda kiamsha
