@ miranda - I think you look positively fabulous, so natural and happy. It makes me smile looking at you 
Thank you sooo much Ms.? Muffinpants! I hope you know how very encouraging and sweet each and every compliment is to me! I was sitting here a few minutes ago, looking at my 'tickerfactory' thingie, after going grocery shopping and feeling something like "Is this real? Have you really been living out your life for the last 17 months the way you've dreamed about your entire life? And I answered myself out loud, "Yes, Mira, you are!" with the same crooked smile I have on my face a lot these last 17 months. It really is amazing to the point of miraculous that I'm not in a corner somewhere, sucking my thumb in a fetal position, or more likely, as ashes in the Pacific Ocean.
Sometimes back when I was still impersonating a male and desperately unhappy, I used to think, 'you don't deserve this! You didn't choose to be transsexed. Now, once in awhile, in the midst of a great day, I have the fleeting feeling the other way, "You don't deserve this!" But I kick that thought away from me as quickly as possible, just by looking at what I'm wearing or think about the fact that I don't have one stitch of male clothing left. I have lots of things that brighten my day, and few that don't. I'm truly blessed.
