A good time for reflection is when you are standing in front of a

True, almost a year but NOT quite. I think one of our multitudinous
anniversaries is Jan. 20, right?

>its been the most wonderful year of my life.  I've grown more than ever

Well, you might be a teensy bit larger than before but just in the
right places. It's enough to make me pant uncontrollably.

And what was the highlight of LAST year, sweetstuff?

Ok, give me back that kiss, right now!!! Oh, hesitating huh? You owe

>dreams come true with Steven...my husband, my lover, my best friend.

Ok, ok, I tend to joke around a lot but as all regulars of this
newsgroup know....Julie IS the light of my life. She has enabled me to
trust myself and she had given me honesty and perfect love and
everything I have never had before. She was patient in the beginning
and let me learn my own self worth after wondering if I even knew what
love WAS. She was willing to wait for me to think and feel and grow
until I could offer her my own love the way she offered me hers..with
complete openess, sincerity and honesty.  I have never experienced
love like this before. I have never experienced such openess and
honesty and caring. Julie and I are complete within our individual
selves but together we equal much more than two.

Without her TrueLove(tm) I would be less for she supports me and helps
me and cares unselfishly for me. I can only hope to do the same for
her.

*sigh* If I continue I may get maudlin so I'll just stop there. A very
Happy Holidays to all!

DO I LOVE CHOCOLATE?!  ARE YOU CRAZY!!!??!!  Of COURSE I love chocolate.
My honey got me a cake for my birthday in December.  It was chocolate cake, 
chocolate icing, chocolate filling.  Now THAT'S a birthday cake! :)

Are far as a volunteer to share your chocolate, I'm afraid I'll have to
pass myself.  I got a honey to share his with me.  But, if I hear of
anyone looking for someone to share with, I'll give them your name!

Right. The key is remembering where the door is and under which rock
you put the spare key. :)

Nah. I dunno. Certain amounts of walls, I think, are necessary. Or
make certain parts of life easier. Remember, the world is not a totally
nice place, and running around without your clothes on is a little naive.

But that doesn't mean you have to slam all the doors and lock all the
shutters either. It's kinda like a house. Most of us have them. We live
in them. But our houses have windows and doors normally. And all we
really need to do is leave the door open and toss out the "Welcome!" mat
and people get the idea. And if you have to deal with a jerk or something,
you shut the door and pull the welcome mat back in.

Congratulations :) TrueLove is supposed to be an expansive, growing
experience, I guess it is the TrueTest of TrueLove, that the persons
involved grow in and because of the relationship, not in spite of it.
May you (pl.) have many more years of that wonderful experience :)

	I agree that the romance in our world has deteriorated to nothing
	more that a romantic term "romance". That, for most, is where the 
	romance in the word "romanc" ends.

	It is sad to think that romance is dead, then there are those of
	us where romance still sparks, I would hope that i am one of the
	few here among the readers of this newsgroup. Romance is not 
	something that you do, it is a series of things that you do 
	that when brought together with the proper personality produces
	what can not be describe in mere terms, a air so great that only
	those experiencing it at that moment can travel beyond the normal
	everyday emotions that so commonly link a relationship, into a
	unexplored relm of the human emotion we call romance. I void which
	shuts out the reality and labors of the day and lets the mind dance 
	with a mysterious partner. A time if only for a brief instance where
	one and one are bound in a self created world where fantasy and hope
	come together to form something that has been reduced to merely a 
	term to those who have never experienced the reality of "romance".

	I think this is relativly accurate, what do you think?

	I would love to know

Who knows, there may be another perfect match out there.
