Faith's Progress

[Anne Blake]

Hi Faith,

Your story of this amazing journey just keeps getting better and better. Deb and I are truly enjoying your progress sister!

Hugs,

  Yes Faith I do need to not p..p..pl ( Sorry I can't ) and it will happen again. You are and it shows.

@Donica

Well that's ok Faith. Getting your ears pierced is nothing. Taking care of them is ease to. A twist here, a twist there, keep them clean for 3 weeks to a month and your ready to try out your new ear rings. I suspect you'll have a bit of trouble getting them back from Lori . A great update Faith! It's wonderful to see you both having such a good time together.
Donica.

Donica, I missed your reply in there yesterday. Guess I was more tired than I thought. Lori and I already have a few things that one will go to wear and the other has it. What a horrible quandary  We'll see how soon pierced earrings are added to the list.

Tia, I really can't believe how good I feel. Here I am, up early and half asleep and still feeling the same way. This is so far removed from any expectations that I've had. really, I had no expectations of ever feeling like this. It wasn't that long ago that I had asked Cindy (@Cindy) to close up my thread. I was again ready to fade away and be miserable. She did but she also reached out and simply chatted. I hope she realizes how much that helped. As much as you are enjoying my progress, it's not as much as I am .. now.

I don't know what to do with myself

The other shoe may drop, I am not looking for it, I am not listening for it, but I am certain that it won't last long and I'll pick it right back up again.

Thanks everyone, even if you don't log in or comment. You're there and that matters.

Oops. that didn't work. I meant to include that I do follow and and find your journey and evolution very helpful, informative, and inspirational.  I seldom reply, as my internet traffic may be monitored in the part of the world where I live, where people of our ilk are not tolerated. I'm currently on travel, so less concerned with monitoring of my internet traffic.

I look forward to your continuing updates.

I thought maybe you were quietly commenting with no comment to show that you were there.

Anne, I sorry that you don't have full freedom to be who you are. I am honored though that your visit my little corner is of help to you. It helps, even in our worst times, to know that someone, somewhere, is benefiting from it.

Stick around, I'll try to keep it interesting

It sounds like you are enjoying life again Faith!  There's lots of "good" happening.  The beauty of having your ears pierced is you can start a small collection of hoops, dangles and studs since they're really not too expensive.  You might even convince Ms. Lori to share a little.

I'd have to talk her into getting her ears pierced too. She keeps waffling.

I have been thoroughly enjoying the past little while. I hope it doesn't end. I was so bouncy driving home today, I swear the car was bouncing too ... oh, probably was. It needs struts and shocks

I'm off to bed, I may not want the day to end but I can't stay up.
G'night y'all

That bounce is feeling alive!
Living life without baggage comes from realizing you're who you are, no thought about it.
The bounce get higher, each time you live life without forethought. 
It's just natural.

Awesome, Faith!  It's nice when we are granted the happiness we deserve.  Bouncy is a great feeling, whether inside us or from a funky suspension. 

Have a good rest, and may you have a bouncy tomorrow!

[Faith]

Well, no bounce this morning Every little thing to set me off has happened so far. Transition/woman related .. ah, nope .. Simple life stupidities that irritate the crap outa ya (like driving to work surrounded by idiot drivers).

It started with my morning routine not being one, thrown for a loop. At least I didn't forget my meds this morning. That's what usually happens when routine is interrupted. Got to the closet, nothing I planned to wear looked/felt right. I kept it simple. Weeelllll, I had my new shoes and bracelet on to show off. By the time I got to work I had them off. I was not dressed in a manner that felt right to wear them and my mood told me to dress down. So, here I am at work wearing old shoes and no sparkles.

On the plus side .... nothing yet. I am optimistic though, that's new.

Don't ya just hate days like that....Nothing looks or feels right and your happy relationship with yourself is not so happy today....Nothing really awful but just enough to put a dampener on your day. I hope things have improved as the day has gone on and you are feeling abit better about yourself.

Take care

Liz

[Donica]

You'll get that bounce back Faith! I have Faith in you . Some days, I don't want the leave the house, but I push past that and at the end of the day, I feel better for it. Ready to bounce another day.

[Faith]

It's only getting worse.

I don't have 'the voice' I'm perfectly aware. BUT, when you have a vendor that doesn't know you from prior ... that has corresponded with you via email as FAITH ... called and asked for FAITH ... get called sir and told, Please don't call me SIR ... only to get SIR'd 6 more times in the space of a few minutes

Oh yeah, I am severely put out right now ......

Ugh!
We all have mornings like that. But anything's better than being stuck in the menswear department 

No, I don't post frequently but I am really happy for you and all the good news you've shared. The day will get better.

@Susan, please leave such vulgar terms for the FtM forums, thank you

Now that is just rude. I hope your day got much better after that, but anyway today is a new day!! I hope this is better than yesterday 

Take care

  Have Faith! This too shall pass.

In the meantime go home and hug your Lori. She'll make it better.

Hugs,

Hey Liz, it got better once I was home and got away from the work idiots. It started getting better at work when my (inspired)work friend popped in to say Hi. She's so happy and expressive that it's very had to stay in a lousy mood. I have to remember to thank her today.

  Have Faith! This too shall pass.

I tried that, it did work but it had consequences. Nice hug followed up by a kiss and .. lightning bolt through the body  how the heck am I ever going to get used to that??!!??

[Faith]

I'm trying to get myself to post a picture at the beginning of each week. I couldn't do it yesterday, today is borderline but here you go anyways ...

I don't know about leaving it, maybe if I run it through a photo filter?
