I am Sarah Jane Case, and this is Anya Graham and Coffee.

Hello, happy Thursday, and welcome back to the podcast.

Today, I am breaking down for you the different elements of the Anya Graham symbol.

But first, today's Rosebud and Thorn.

And if you're new here, welcome and glad you found us.

I will tell you again, what the Rosebud and Thorn is.

So the Rose is something great in my life.

The bud is something I'm looking forward to and the Thorn that is like something not so awesome right now.

So the Rose is that we in North Carolina are having a 55 degree weather day.

And it is giving me life the door to my office is open and there's like a warm breeze and I'm thrilled.

55 degree weather in the winter is such a gift, whereas like 55 degree weather in the summer is feels like winter.

I kind of like that paradox.

You know, now the bud is that Valentine's Day is on Sunday.

And I love Valentine's Day.

Even when I was single, I loved Valentine's Day.

I just think it's a fun excuse to dote over the people in your life and give them all the compliments and gifts that you can.

I always get my steps on a new blanket every Valentine's Day is just like a weird thing.

It's the first blanket I ever gave him when he was three is like the blanket that he was like his blanket, you know.

And I think there was something about that that really, really stuck with me and I he just like loves cozy things and being comfortable and so it's fun for me to kind of love him in that way every year.

And my thorn is that I'm taking a bit of a risk with having the office door open because the house across the patio from where my office is is going through like deep construction and it's quiet right now.

And I'm hoping that it stays that way.

And also there's this neighborhood cat that keeps trying to come inside to the office.
