A note to my “imaginary” friends… some things I want you to know:
I appreciate you for your kindness, your caring… for the way you step up and give and share and love with such willing generosity.
I appreciate you for your sense of humour, your openness to fun… for sharing laughs and silliness and seeing the comical side of things, even (particularly?) in the midst of tension.
I appreciate you for your opinions, your perspective… for encouraging me to think outside the parameters of my reality.
I appreciate you, so much more than you can know. You are loved.

Happy Internet Friend Day (just a little late)!
I’m glad you’re here. 🙂

Awwwww! We appreciate you, too, Laurel! You’re the best. You inspire us, make us laugh and touch us with your words and creativity.
Hope I get to meet you some day so you can see that I’m not imaginary. Heheh! 😉 (Are you scared yet?)

Thank you so much, Cat – that is so sweet! I hope we get to meet someday as well – not out of the realm of possibility, as we’re both in the same province!

I could not help but think of the old TV cartoon “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends”. I think you know that sometimes the imaginary friends are the best kind.
I loved the 100 words length…your post was perfect!

I send that right back to you! I’m so glad to have found you and gotten to “know” you online. You’re such a positive and giving person, and very talented. I look forward (fingers crossed for you) to meeting you here in Providence when you take your CZT seminar!

I wonder if this is truly an imaginary friend. Perhaps you have never met this person except online but that person may be just as real as you are (and grateful for your friendship). I hope that person is a wonderful friend to you, too. Maybe you made that person’s day. How sweet!

Right back at you Laurel! The words you are projecting towards us “imaginary” friends, I am projecting or rather reflecting back to you! That is, I appreciate you for… all the things you mention! 😉 <3

Aww that was such a sweet letter. Of late I too have come to value my internet friends a lot. They provide a special kind of support and understanding and are always there tucked away in my laptop no matter where I go. 🙂
