Singles’ Awareness Day

As I have no specific valentine this year, I want to just send this out to everyone who has, does, or ever will love and support me.

“Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true.” —– from ‘Stranger Than Fiction’

Thank you for being MY bavarian sugar cookies. I love you, and I am grateful to you for all of your support, prayers, advice, sympathy, empathy, laughter, music, time, and most of all, your love.
