I use the excuse that I'm still far too English - and so polite - even after 14 years in the Netherlands to not allow others through first :)<br /><br />But, yes, I get the same comments :)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-70240590384794455342013-03-10T13:33:26.580-04:002013-03-10T13:33:26.580-04:00Meant to say that I can share it with my friends a...Meant to say that I can share it with my friends and family, not just friends. I'm working on that at this very moment, in fact. Stay tuned...Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-3911840430123482012013-03-10T13:20:09.810-04:002013-03-10T13:20:09.810-04:00@ Debra: You are so right. I was told before I sta...@ Debra: You are so right. I was told before I started to transition not to have any expectations when I told people. My therapist said that people who *really* know me would be "shocked, but not surprised." <br /><br />For the most part, people have been wonderfully supportive, but there are a few who are struggling. I've come to accept that this isn't really about me, but their own fears. <br /><br />It makes me sad, but all I can do is be myself. For the first time in my life, I *like* myself. A lot. And I'm excited about the future, and what it holds for me. I never knew life could be like this. I hope I can share that journey with all of my friends… but I can't control that. <br /><br />Thank you for the reminder, Debra. :c)<br /><br /><br />@ Stace: Thank you, sweetie! I was smiling too when she told me. :c)<br /><br />L is the best. I have been fortunate to have a number of terrific bosses, but she is tops. I consider her a true friend, and I hope she feels the same.<br /><br />And yes, she has quite the evil streak. :c) During her last visit, she brought along one of the writers from her office. I took them out to dinner at a terrific little restaurant literally steps from my apartment.<br /><br />When we were leaving, the other writer, J, went out first. L and I then both reached for the door simultaneously, and then I gestured for L to exit first. <br /><br />As we reached J, L turned to me and said, "You know, y'all are gonna have to get used to folks doing that for you." <br /><br />I began to blush (of course), and J asked "What's so funny?"<br /><br />L just smiled and said, "Private joke."<br /><br />I will, of course, get her back. I have an evil streak too, you see. :c)<br /><br />Thank you again, Stace! Off for a walk here with Muse on the iPod. Barely a month 'til I see them. Yea!!!!<br /><br />Major hugs to all y'all (as L would say)!<br />Cass :c)<br />Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-73212708038837532432013-03-10T12:16:01.824-04:002013-03-10T12:16:01.824-04:00Isn't it funny the people who support you, how...Isn't it funny the people who support you, how easily they can see the new/real you? And yet on the other side of it, those who cling so tightly to your oldself they only see what they want to see?Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752910753527115712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348070062651753968.post-55087856829495142502013-03-10T03:22:48.844-04:002013-03-10T03:22:48.844-04:00I'm smiling from ear to ear!
