Alentines Ay

As I sat on my couch on Valentine’s Day, enjoying the lovely dinner I had prepared for myself and finishing off the bottle of cab I have opened earlier in the evening, I got bored and had the not so bright idea to scroll through social media. Sometimes the allure of other peoples lives is a welcome distraction. That night, however, was the wrong night to go down the rabbit hole of “who had the best Valentine’s Day ever.” I started to become cynical and bratty (for lack of a better word) because I didn’t have what these people posting had: someone to share the day with. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my own company and I am a delight to be around, especially after a bottle of wine.


The self-inflicted pity party continued for a while until a friend sent me an El Arroyo Marquee Sign picture. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go look them up. They are a landmark restaurant in Austin who come up with the best marquee signs the world has ever seen. Seriously.

This evening‘s phrase was “Happy Alentine’s Ay. For those who won’t be getting the V or the D on February 14.”


I literally laughed out loud and almost spit the wine out my damn mouth. The rain cloud over my head parted and my mood shifted. I told myself “stop taking yourself so seriously. You know good and well you are not the only one going through some shit and feeling alone tonight. Let’s break out of this funk and find something to be grateful for.“


All the challenges we face have an upside, and if we keep focus on the positive aspect we can get through them a lot quicker.


💗Today I am grateful for those who challenge me because they teach me determination.

💗Today I am grateful for those who hurt me because they teach me compassion.

💗Today I am grateful for those who love me because they teach me gratitude.

💗Today I’m grateful for a day to celebrate love and all that it encompasses. I’m grateful to have known and lost love. Because we must experience the darkness so that we can better appreciate the light.
