Title: "Welcome"
Post by: K8 on July 23, 2009, 08:08:18 AM
Yesterday I ran into a woman I know.  We've always seemed to have some connection but aren't close.  She knew about my transition (who in town doesn't know? :P) but I hadn't seen her since starting to live full time.

She had never been physically affectionate but gave me a big hug.  She asked how I am doing.  And then she looked me in the eyes and said: "welcome".

That one word has had me glowing since.  It is these small kindnesses that smooth out all the bumps along this path.

I hope each of your lives will be filled with small gifts of kindness.

K8, Why is it that you are the one person I know who seems to always find the positive?

I'm not a poet but you always inspire me to poetry. I don't get it.

I am glad things go well for you and I am very happy you found something to glow about as your personality glows all the time.

glad Your here.
