QuoteYou want something to inspire you? How about this?
"Keep your eyes on the prize." That was told to me by a member of the clergy many moons ago. I remember it whenever the going gets tough. "Keep your eyes on the prize." Don't let yourself get distracted. Don't let people get to you. Carry on

Now that I can thank you for. Is good advice and at present, very applicable to myself and my situation. I have to many things at once going on that sometimes make me think its not humanly possible to make it through it all, or have anything left to do with if I do, but I know that if I don't, there is no point to anything, so I somehow have to. Thank you, that is advice I can appreciate and understand.
I am at the weakest point I have ever been in my life presently and I appreciate such words of wisdom and common sense. They help rally what strength I have left to face what will fall over the next few months in my private matters that will affect any ability I have to address any concerns of my own at all.
I am facing a civil matter over an auto accident a couple of months ago involving a pedestrian which could take everything I have and treaten everything I will make for the rest of my life, the timing is so very wrong, coming at a time when I must also address the issue of my marrage with finality and deal with doctors and their concerns all at once while worring about where the next dollar for surgery will come from even in the best of times. I am not in focus and having to deal with emotions that have been in hiding for so long I had forgotten how to deal with them. Just a normal day in the life of an average human being.
As to the rest, to close to my own thoughts to be used on me. My own thoughts about B.O. is simply that there are to many that would seek it not out of real need, but in the perception that it can and would accomplish something that in most cases simply can't and won't do for them, and is therefore a waste of time, money and effort, especially for those who have no problems with spiro and can expect surgery in the near future. Thus I would discourage it as a "Step" in the transition process as was suggested to me by someone in a private conversation about it.
I can only relate what it ment and did for myself as far as gender issues are concerned, which was of course Nothing at all, though I did not seek it, rather it was offered to me as an alternative over health issues and for that purpose it met a need.
I would not fault anyone for doing it for thier own gender issues if they truely believed it would help anything, as I can not know the exact nature of other peoples issues, only my own, but I would discourage any who sought to do so with unrealistic expectations. I only wish to make others think about such issues and if the money could better be used on other things that would be of more value to them. Same with issues like FFS. I personally would never consider such a thing until more pressing priorities had been addressed before even giving such things a second thought.
With any such issues I believe that if they truely fulfill a need within ones self, then they will be better able to deal with other problems as they will have a healthier outlook on life and so be better able to deal with such, but if real needs are not met it is like you said yourself in another thread, surgeries can become an addiction while solving nothing in the way of real issues.
My point in such threads is simple. Think about it, what priorites are number 1 ?
Sorry for the attitude you alluded to, I get that way when afraid of my own goals being threatend by things beyond my control. Just leave hammers out of it when relating to me, its all I can do not to pull out a bigger one at times, I was trained that way by life.
