How do you spend your day? Is there anything that you'd call exciting, adventurous, that you are grateful for beyond words? How do you feel about your job? Your spouse, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend? How do you feel about being enrolled in school or classes? How do you feel about your hairdresser, whoever you've involved yourself with during your day? Or you might recount the events that make an ordinary day.
What a really great entry, Nichole. I love the way you write. It's like a snapshot into your life and is so wonderfully descriptive.
I really enjoyed reading that, thank you. :) It really is the little things in life that mean the most.
Thanks, Lei. :icon_hug: I agree with you. Where I come from and how I've managed to get to be the me I am isn't the main focus of my life any longer. I cannot imagine writing a blog simply about trans-issues. I'd much rather it cover my daily life.
Sometimes that will mean there is a trans-issue that's the focus, but very much more-often it will be a therapy-issue, a good-book or movie, my son, my interactions with my partners, my friends, missed dates: like the wedding-shower yesterday for a very close friend that we both had gotten in our heads was next Sunday!!
We had our little discussion about "who tells Jen we're sorry" this afternoon after Catherine had gotten a "where were you email!!" I think I "won" that one as she and Jen were friends before Jen and I were friends!! :)
But, there it is, life is a series of events that rarely partake of the revision of the DSM or which hormone-administration to use, or what do I do about breasts-growth etc, etc .... :) Trans has become a sidelight and no longer holds the spotlight in my life.
Thank Mother!! If it did I fear I wouldn't be living much of a life right now.
Love and hugs,
Nichole
