Just came across some info that might be of use. On the everydayhealth.com site there is an article by a transwoman who came out at age 62. She has also written a book about her experiences TRANSITIONING LATER IN LIFE: A Personal Guide. Very good article. Look forward to reading the book. I came out to my wife 30 yrs ago before we married. As posted earlier I am considering coming out to my son. No decision yet. My bio and bio update explain why I have not come out completely and why my true name and photo are not shown on this site.

Thank you for the info about the web site.  There are a great many books that have been written on the subject, most of them very good.  Just reading the threads on this site should provide you and everyone else great personal stories of success, as well as occasional failure.  The bottom line is that there is no one right way to come out and no one right way to transition.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Willow · Posted

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow

      A Lynyrd Skynard tee with cut outs, a pink button up blouse over it and my hot pink bra under it.    Below I'm wearing black tights and my Capris.

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....
