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?
) 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.
