I love that picture!! I'll take a McFishwich with an order of McFriskies. lol Good morning, everyone! Another cold northeast US day. Now that the holidays are over it's into the waiting for Spring to appear. Why does time just seem to crawl by at this time of the year? My wife and I are taking a trip to Las Vegas to see The Eagles in concert at The Sphere. Our gambling is limited to $20 each for the trip....we're donors not winners. We're also going to take a trip to see the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. We've flown over them many times over the years but never seen them in person. Be safe and look for the goodness in this wonderful day we've been given. -

I do agree with this statement. To me, happiness is not a fixed thing but, rather, a process. It is something that we have to work on continuously. Something that we can control but don't own. -

I have traveled a similar path of self-doubt, guilt, self-forgiveness and acceptance in my journey. And, if it helps, I would bet that most of us have had a similar experience. And, I wish I could say that one day, it all just disappears. At least for me, that hasn't been the case. It seemed as if the acceptance came relatively quickly when I began working with my therapist. The others less quickly and, perhaps, that's because it took me almost 68 years to finally accept my truth. In my mind, you are on the right trajectory. Exploring, discussing, opening up and looking into the nooks and crannies. It's not always an easy process but I'm confident you'll find your way. I know I have, despite the doubts and guilt. Stay with the process and know we are here if you need us. -

It soundsd like your girlfriend is acquainted with and accepts the LGBTQ+ community. So that's a plus. I wonder if you've discussed this with your therapist. In not, it would be a good idea. I know, in my case, my firsr time I came out, it was to a friend who lived a distance away and not part of my local friends/family. If rejected, it wouldn't hurt as much to lose that persom. I then worked my way in in order to gain confidence. However, if the relationship is important, I think sooner than later to telling her. Being she hasn't lived with being LGBTQ, you are much longer along your journey and so it may come as a shock - and she may have to go through steps a greiving, be compassion and give her room. If she rejects you then it is also better to know sooner than later. Even if she first rejects, that may be a reaction to the news but give it time to settle in. That's my opinion, but you know her so let your inner being guide you.
