it is interesting to walk down the greeting card isle of a random drugstore on the day following valentine's day. you'd swear, really, that masses of people have stormed the place leaving the occasional 'from your aunt on your fortieth birthday' greeting.

a random clerk is busy removing those discarded notes and colored envelopes replacing them with whatever else will be in season soon.

i wonder sometimes if there really ought to be such holidays, because it seems that they allow us to 'forget' to let others know how we feel in our every day lives. how lucky we are to be surrounded with people that we care about.

so there. maybe, i'm 2 days late (or 363 days early?) but i'm still thankful to have you guys in my life. whoever you may be.
