This was the title of this morning’s yoga class featuring heart-opening, back-bending and heart-shaped sweat, of course. I arrive to the studio to find a greeting card resting against a Castro wall reading “nice butt”. My ego’s boosted just as I’m about to check it at the door.
In my yoga glow, I stroll a farmer’s market, make small talk with a vendor who describes his avocadoes as the 1960s of Mustangs. Sold. An Asian couple stuffs their bag with a certain kind of potato that I’ve never seen before. Pointing, they say “the best”, so, naturally, I must grab a few. An elderly man shouts at his departing friend, “be there before 9, so, 8:30!” He turns to me and says, “You should come too. It’s at 9 and it’ll be a great time. So…8:30!” Noted. Love truly is in the air and nothing says romance like closing out a mutual account which I did with carrots and cabbage in tow.
I’m currently snuggled on the couch, clicking between The Notebook and Love Actually (I think I nailed it this Valentine’s Day, what do you think?) and will be off to a vintage circus themed wedding dressed as a ringleader.
I’ve had a date with myself, with strangers, old friends, new friends and soon a bunch of circus enthusiasts. Today has reminded me to #LoveEveryDamnDay. Keep an open heart and love where you’re at, no matter where that is.
