What a whirlwind. Of love and hugs and kisses and news and booze friends family and seeing me everywhere... I went to see the Spielpalast Cabaret, and I saw my old dresses, and corsets, and shoes in action. Loved and used well. I love to give my special things to people who use them. A favorite vintage bag and wallet accessorise a loved one. A brightly colored and patterned scarf, it's like to be found nowhere quickly, wrapped with love around an other's neck.
And the gifts! Jewelry, makeup, shoes, and a cunningly confiscated corset! And the food! A long winter begs a sacred reverence for all things green, especially edible ones. I am surrounded by love, appreciation, friendliness, puppies, beauty, fashion, inspiration, a sort of confidence and bravado that is unapologetic. I feel renewed.
And I need renewal. The next two weeks will be difficult.
There is nothing like looking into the eyes of a much missed friend and seeing the love that they have for you in their eyes. The look of being cherished. This is a thing that is not easily communicated over the phone, or e-mail. Perhaps letters get closer.
Finally, I feel gratitude. Was it Brett Michaels who said "don't know what you got till it's gone"?
Well I know what I got, and it ain't gone.

I think it's time for you to visit again. How about next weekend? Wasn't it Richard Marx that said "Wherever you go, Whatever you do, I'll be right here waiting for you?"
See what I have been reduced to?
