Enjoying Valentines or Cakes - Weeks Afterwards | Ladies Night In Support Group

Thank you for the fabulous cake!
I should have written this right afterwards, right after Ladies Night In, when our wonderful Lady brought in a handmade, hand frosted birthday cake. It was gorgeous. Almost as gorgeous as she is. I loved it, we all did.
The cake was tall, frosted beautifully, with handmade, vanilla frosting. Did I mention that it was gorgeous? It smelled, looked and radiated gorgeousness. I don't have a good enough vocabulary to express this cake's gorgeousness. It was a vision. And I enjoyed it immensely. I enjoyed every single bit of it.
I'm writing about it today because it's the day after Valentine's Day. Maybe there were chocolates involved in your Valentine's Day. Maybe there was cake, lovely other foods, fabulous other treats. Maybe they are still hanging around, physically, in the kitchen or in the dining room. Maybe they are just hanging around in your mind and your heart.
I'd like to say thank you for the cake from several weeks ago because I have enjoyed it immensely. I've thought about it, talked about it and visualized it. What a beautiful thing to create and share with our lovely group.
The ritual that we created around the cake was sweet. Carrie, (I just love you) went and found a single candle. We sang happy birthday to us all. We blew out the candle together. We created and enjoyed the community that was there that evening.
I'm still enjoying this cake and I never ate a piece. There was one other Lady there that night that also did not eat. I hope she's still enjoying it too. I love that I have so thoroughly enjoyed that gorgeous cake and those gorgeous ladies. And yet, I never ate a bite of that cake.
Valentines Day. Ladies Night In. As Dr. Richlin would say, awesome.
