Welcome Yogapants!
I can relate to the florists' impending stress! I worked in a bakery during college, and the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve were epically busy.
For me Valentine's Day is a bright spot in the cold New England winter! I can always use a reminder to take time to tell people I care.
Thumpa - The Serenity Prayer sure helps me keep my compass pointed towards joyous happy and free. I'm working on my first cycle through the 12 steps right now. That prayer, and the principles of AA, are the only things that have freed me from my self defeating thoughts, moods, and actions.
Babs, WWS, BlueFairy, Amp, toots , Saskia and any Undie I accidentally missed - have a great day!!
