Life just ain't any fun anymore.

I respectfully disagree. 

 

Your life in this moment can be short on fun, but that doesn't mean you can't go find some or create it yourself.

 

I lost a dear friend of over 40 years suddenly on Boxing Day - just before what would have been his 70th birthday. He was a simple man in England who never had much in terms of material things. His beloved first wife died after a prolonged illness, and it was a long time before he could or would pursue another relationship. Thankfully, he did eventually find someone who brought him a great deal of happiness.

 

The thing I'll always remember about my friend is his unflagging good humor. He always had a good joke at the ready. And the flood of comments posted by others after his passing reveals a man who maintained an amazing number of close relationships with friends he'd had since early childhood. Again, though, it wasn't a matter of what he did or accomplished in life. He clearly saw the value in maintaining long-term close ties with not only everyone who impacted his life in some positive way but their children and even the grandchildren. Shared memories made him especially happy. 

 

That was his "fun". And he found it in the most basically human way possible - by loving and being loved. Bolstered by that strength, we can endure so much more of what life throws at us.

 

I can see the crucial turning points of my life in terms of a dance move. Finding myself with both feet blocked from moving directly forward, I always took one step to the left and simply danced onward from there. The key was never to step (or be pushed) backward.

 

(NOTE: If you saw me try to dance, you'd know how silly an analogy that really is.)

      Boebert is a Boob! (no offense to boobs intended)😊  Her recent public spectacle of shallow human behavior is additional proof.

      Definitely love the change in weather ... and the end of summer humidity!

      I agree @Carolyn Marie!  it's a start. Also, please share NTS results when they come out.  That will interesting (and likely more accurate).   @awkward-yet-sweet That's cool.  Your choice.  I understand your concerns about Gov agencies and security/privacy.  But the way I look at it, Google, social media, and whatever agency has most all my information and probably know everything about us anyway.  So, if I am asked to participate ... I'm ALL IN! 😊 https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/factsheets/2019/comm/2020-confidentiality-factsheet.pdf   @Charlize here is what I found on the Census HPS website about latest round (which it seems they do 3 or 4 times a year).  Fortunately I maintain a U.S. address also. "The Census Bureau randomly chose your address, not you personally, to participate in this survey. A limited number of addresses from across the country were scientifically selected to represent the entire population. Your participation is important, and your response cannot be replaced by one from another household address." https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/household-pulse-survey.html

      Welcome Raelyn! Glad you're here! Another Florida belle here! I understand the need for some to leave. Some wonderful friends have become refugees fleeing this "free" state. I choose to stay! I hope you find the wonderful advice, support & acceptance here as I have.   Hugs! Delcina

      My therapist lives about 700 miles away - we’ve on.y ever met by videoconference. She’s awesome.

      My VA counselor is a 70 some mile drive.  I usually do the sessions on line.  But she also facilitates our support group which I usually drive up to attend twice a month.  She is LGBTQ herself, which helps.  I like her a lot.

      I  wonder who gets invited to participateI.  The links above don't get into the survey.  While some may not wish to participate i certainly don't mind having my voice heard if it might help in the understanding of trans issues.  In the past census any questions about gender other than male or female were not allowed.     Hugs,   Charlize

      Okay, this analogy seems a lot better. What do you think?

      Well I had my first appointment with my new counselor this morning. Even though she is just an Intern. She is great. She is a Navy Vet. Stationed of all places, Pearl Harbor. Lucky girl. I think I will like working with her. I have another appointment next Wens again.  Only problem is that she is in Loveland, CO. About 80 miles from me. But she is OK with doing video appointments if the need arises. Today was almost a 2 hour session. Being it was the intake appointment. We touched on a lot of points. Some she noted to discuss later.   So being it was the VA Of course, I dressed feminine. Gray camo skort, and a gray woman's Harley t. Once I got home, and changed to go into work. He asked if I wanted to show off my legs, then something about fat rolls or something. Then He asked if the zoom meeting I attended last night was a trans anonymous meeting. Nope just a meeting of friends. I wonder if he has changed again and not supporting me anymore. Did my wife get to him? Do I only have my middle son supporting me.  I hope I am wrong. It just kind of hurt when he said that.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I love the cooler weather. Pumpkin spice, college football, colors even though I’m in the city.

      How about this revised analogy?   Would this be more clear to as an introduction to these important terms?
