The Morning Show is a blog companion to today's podcast audio.
Goood morning, and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Now, this is a complex holiday fo' sho'. Let's talk about it. Actually, to quote the crazy preacher in "Oh God" starring George Burns and John Denver..."LOVE! Let's talk about LOVE!"
V day, as I like to call it, is typically only good if you're in a happy relationship, which, as we know, is a tiny percentage of the population. Seems like everyone else hates it, resents it, is inconvenienced by it, grumbles about how much it costs...If you fall into this camp, take solace in the fact that the original St. Valentine got what was coming to him for being so disruptive to the State. Trouble maker!
However, here's a novel idea, taught to me by my mama. It's a day to celebrate love of all kinds, be it romantic, platonic, or even just the love of life. Just as Thanksgiving presents us with the golden-brown baked opportunity of the observance of gratitude, so too does V day with letting people know they matter.
As one of those little candy hearts would say..."Nifty!"
