Navigating my way to Wendy

[Wendy Lindsay]

I feel that its important to share our experiences and thus here I am starting my blog.
Firstly excuse the title, wanted to be different but then we all are lol.
Over the years I have during therapy sessions been advised to write notes in a journal or diary as this can help with discussion points that also give insight to life experiences and challenges I have encountered that helped develop my personality going forward.
I'll use as much as I can as I write my story.

I (David) was born 6 weeks premature in 1967 to a single teenage mother (17).Why do I mention such personal points? well these factors were actually considered by medical profession some years later as to possible reasons for my lack of full male development! a premature baby to a not fully mature mother (more of those discussions in a later post)

I obviously survived early birth and returned home with my mum to our home to begin life....

@Wendy Lindsay
Dear Wendy:
I think it is wonderful that you started your own personal Blog Thread.  It will not only allow you to track your progress but your personal thread will be in effect your personal transition journal.  Just writing details out like you have is not only a good recap for your readers and followers but it also can be good personal therapy for you as well. 

As you might already be aware, I have my personal transition Blog Thread here on the Forum but I also keep a personal "old-school" pen & paper journal at home complete with colorful doodling and appropriate snapshot photos.  I have kept a personal journal since I was in Junior High School... we called them "Diaries" back then.
I find that when I have difficult issues that I am working through that writing down my thoughts helps me to ponder and to formulate positive solutions.    When things are going well, I certainly write about those things as well.

As your thread develops more regular readers and followers you can expect joyful and congratulatory responses to your good news and when your news is not-so-good, you will find your readers and followers offering their ears to listen and their shoulders for you to lean on.

On cold and rainy nights when I am staying in, I often find myself in my comfy chair in front of my fireplace thumbing through and reviewing my journals, that is when I can gain insights as to what I need to do to overcome future difficulties and to see how to avoid future problems....  I can spend hours just reminiscing about my past life events.... sometimes with tears in my eyes.

I will be eagerly following your new Blog Thread, and please, if you will, continue to keep it updated as you feel comfortable doing. 
Your new Blog Thread will be in essence your HOME here on the Forum where your readers and followers can find you and leave their comments and thoughts.
Here on the forums you will certainly come across many like-minded members here, some can become very good friends as you share your thoughts with one-another on the various threads around the Forums but also in Personal Message exchanges.

Thank you for starting and posting your new personal Blog thread....
...you will find it quite beneficial to yourself and perhaps it will provide help and encouragement to others that read it.

HUGS and well wishes,
Danielle [Northern Star Girl]
