thank you note.

last night i opened up the gifts from my friends. there was no bright paper to rip and toss onto the floor, no ribbons for my cat to chase, just pure generosity from true hearts.

they are the best gifts i have received this year.

the heartfelt messages, the poems and lyrics, the images and videos -- they are all shinier than the newest gadget or the latest toy. i saved them all, and i know i will be re-reading them and re-viewing them, many times.

whenever i am tempted to think no one cares one way or the other about me, i will look at them. whenever i feel as though magic is impossible, i will take them out and let them serve to remind me how very magical the world truly is, for it brought all of you into my life.

merry christmas, my friends, and thank you.

with love,
-tj

I'm working on saving all of our stuff, too!

It's so inspiring to me to see all of the things we did. It really is a massive work of art.

Thank you for this. Thank you for everything :)

Hi TJ :)

Thank you for dropping by "my place"! And no worries about our stunted conversation at DM. I ended up leaving abruptly anyway.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays :)

Merry Christmas Toujours. I love you sweetie! This was such an amazing blog, it touched my heart. =]

I hope that you had a good Christmas, and enjoy your holidays, because sooner than you think, they'll be over!

P.S. We haven't been keeping track, but what level of Hug Fu were you at last?

So, in some crazy, crazy way, we were totally "connected" last New Year's Eve!

Awesome performance that totally got taped ;)

Favorite part:
Gerard's molestation of the camera with his face!

Thank you for your words. I especially loved learning about 3 new things from you! I had no idea the month of January meant what it did. That impresses me! Kind of like a two-way mirror, really.

I'll see you around, TJ.

Love.
