Smart woman day

In the midst of a very painful and drawn-out split with an important person, Valentine's Day falls. What a cruel joke of fate.
I don't have a great history of Valentine's Day to start with, so my expectations are usually low, but this year (as with thoughts about my long term future) I had let myself give in to the thought of a wonderful day, and evening spent with someone who really cared for me, and who I really cared for in return.
Instead, I made a point of wearing all black today, and doing all that I can to avoid realizing what day it is. And trying not to cry.
Then, a good friend sent me the following message....

Today is I.V.G.L.D.S.W. Day (International Very Good Looking, Darn Smart Woman's Day), so please send this message to someone you think fits this description. Please do not send it back to me I have already received it from a VeryGood Looking, Darn Smart Woman!
Remember to live by this motto: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid insideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up,totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I think this sounds like a very good thought, but I'm not doing a very good job of living it right now.
