-when my breast start bouncing up and down while i'm on my daily jog
-when i get home and the 2 hounds are going banana's seeing me pull in the driive
-when there are no bills in the mail
-when customers pay me on time
-when there is no bad news on the 6pm news
-when i can come to this forum and feel right at home
-would luv it when my fears of family/friend abandonment dont haunt me

I love it when I wake up every morning & I realise one more time that my dream has become true.

I love it when I look at the sky at night & see the stars in the vastness of the universe.

I love it when my fiance caresses my hair.

I love it when my dog plays with my friend's dog.

I love it when I wake up in the morning singing because I'm Kate,

... when it is so cold that the moisture in the air crystallizes right out of it,

... when a man I haven't met opens the door for me and says ma'am,

... when a friend calls me to set up a lunch or coffee date,

... when I can come here and find support and laughter,

... when the college kids ignore me because I'm just some old lady,

... and when the women I've known for years treat me as one of them.

Kate

I love it when:

I can go out in public.

I share my experiences with others.

I can help others.

- I get home from a long trip, and my family greets me with a hug and kisses (and wags from the dog)
- I'm "in the zone" at work, and i'm unstoppable
- A solution to a problem suddenly and unexpectedly presents itself
- I find the one odd, hard to find item that i need - and it's on sale!
- I see the satisfaction of those eating a yummy meal that i cooked
- I watch the sun rise in the morning
- I experience the love from my wife, who i've been married to now for 23 years
- Music takes me away....

I have plenty of time to jump back in my bed and snuggle about before starting the day

Pleasant dreams come my way

Being myself is a reality and not just a dream

Feeling the warmth of friends

- I know that I am right.
- I realize that wait, no I wasn't.
- I'm lying on the grass, looking at the stars.
- I stop to appreciate the smell of summer.
- nobody laughs at a joke but me.
- I'm not afraid to act silly.
- old people reminisce about the good (or bad) ol' days
- I make fantastical, showstopping mistakes and I can just laugh it off.
- I realize I still have my childlike wonder.
- similarly, I realize that I still love Strawberry Shortcake (the cartoon) even though I'm 33 years old.
- all I need in the whole wide world is a sentimental movie and some cheap chardonnay.

- I'm lying in the snow letting snowflakes fall on my face at night
- the sun is out but there are dark clouds on the horizon
- I hear an old favorite song for the first time in years
- I can just relax
- I pick up a new pastime
- a new recipe I create actually tastes good
- I feel like I can just be myself
- I figure out something that's been bugging me for a while

-my bff Jen pops up on Facebook and we talk all night, again (hugs)
-I can see myself actually making progress
-I realize this transition journey will be over soon
-I realize my life's journey has just begun
-I get a new stuffed animal for my collection
-I discover my new favorite song
-My electrologist says "okay, last one."

I don't feel alone or lonely

and I love it when my bff Virginia sends me hugs

{{{HUGS}}} HAPPEN 

I get a pm from Virginia

I get a pm from FairyGirl

I get a pm

I phone a pregnant friend and ask how she is; she replies "Really good I've just had twin boys" OMG true story from last week

- we swear like sailors, because we just don't give a f---.
- we make a scene because it's just too good a time to care.
- hate and love collide, because hatred never wins such things.
- my bff Chloe calls me on the phone and tells me all about her pretty birds.
- my bff Virginia tells me to cool my jets, because they're burning way too hot.
- I save the day by granting fairy wishes, and nobody knows it was me.

I kiss my boyfriend on his lips with my arms wrapped around him before I leave in the morning.

I am the only swimmer, swimming up and down the pool and there is a light rain on the surface of the pool.

I realize my life's journey is not complete and there is more to do.

I'm able to help someone with a problem.

I get compliments from friends, colleagues, family and especially from my boyfriend.

I snuggle up to my boyfriend before I go to sleep at night.

Kind regards
Sarah B

I wake up and realise that I'm still here and I'm snuggled in my lovers arms.
I can give someone an unexpected present.
Someone tells me I'm still pretty at 50.
I can help someone else solve a problem.
I see a man (or woman) looking at me with "that" look and I know they are "interested".
The sun shines and I can go swimming in my private pool.
Someone likes one of my stories.
I realise that I made it!

I get a good cup of tea (so worth all the mediocre ones)

A song comes on the radio I like and I get overexcited and start yelling to my friends, "I actually like this one".

When bellies ache from laughing.

When I take my boots off at the end of the day.

I see or hear something in a different way to usual.

I don't realise I'm singing a Damned song at top volume.

I lay half dreaming.

I see the moon.

The sun warms a patch of skin when the rest is cold.

~My friends hug me or lean against me or hold my hand unexpectedly.
~I realise that, today, I have nothing I need to do.
~I get excited about possibilities and foreign lands I will visit in the future and start working towards that goal (yay languages!)
~I find a new thing that makes me laugh hysterically
~The world outside suddenly turns into a thunderstorm and I run outside
~A stranger compliments the 'do!
~I go to my tiny local cinema or the restaurant next to it and it's still remained unchanged since my childhood/the 1960s. 

-I actually get enough sleep during the night
-I hear about a sequel or spin-off of an epic game (Resident Evil, Phoenix Wright, ect)
-When people actually consider what I've said to be useful
-I come up with a witty joke seemingly out of nowhere and people around me laugh

And ultimately...

When my brother asks me a question where I have the opportunity to give a useful answer He asked me once to translate something from Spanish to English since he knew I was studying the language. Even though I couldn't translate it, it complimented me so much that he asked

This too, lol

I'm beginning to really enjoy all the children around the school (not just in my class) who say hello to me as I walk around - all the adults too - a feeling of belonging in a community.

I'm also enjoying the kids in my class pleading with me to go on an adventure activity with them...I spose I am just a whore for being wanted.
