every morning

[Heather Shay]

I cannot tell you how much all of you have helped me and shared. I look forward each morning now to do feminine voice exercises and reading comments and topics here. This morning I read from a lady a little older who has such a similar journey and just helps me to realize. . I am not alone...and it feels so good...especually having struggled.. .wait for it...68 years...sigh....thank you all

Shay

Yes, the comaraderie is kind of addictive, isn't it?  Probably the one single thing that helped me more than any other is when I discovered I wasn't alone.  Everybody here seems ageless to me, too, something I seldom feel IRL.  It's nice.

 

Hugs,

Tori

[Heather Shay]

Thank you both - I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy to be here. You have meant so much to me. Can't tell you how much I've been able to do in less than a month than I did in 68 years - but all those things were building blocks to get here. If you haven't already - I posted a song that decided it needed to be written and shared called "You Are Not Alone". Hopefully you know how to navigate a bunch better than I but if you can't find it, I can post it again.

Mental Hugs,

Shay

has the largest concentration of geriatric-TG's of any forum on the planet.

Thats quite a statement @Suzanne1.

 

I don't think many here would admit to being, or appreciate being called geriatric.  You? 

noun:   an old person, especially one receiving special care.  ex: "a rest home for geriatrics"

mmm

As I am 60 in about 6 and a half months does that make me geriatric?

There is not much work over here like everywhere else I imagine.

I took a job that was a little out of the way with no public transport and to get to work I had to ride my bike to my local train station catch a train to another then ride 45 minutes to work be on my feet for 8 to 10 hours  then do the same in reverse.

I guess that means I am positively geriatric.:-(

PS that is push bike! ?

 

[Heather Shay]

whose idea as the geriatric remark. i cant even spell geriatric. its all in the mind and there i am still a 6 year old  what is physical age when you can finally find some happiness, which you have given me and I am so grateful.

I took it as cute, lol.  I think we all know we're not geriatric, but I do have those days.........  I'm certainly not 25 anymore. 

[Heather Shay]

not a day over 26  lady

Saying geriatric was funny and I got a good laugh from it. I don't see why anyone would or should take offense to a gently made joke... *says the 49 year old* I prefer to have members that are nearer my age just fine and I purposely avoid the groups that are mostly younger because I just can't relate to them. High school was 31 years ago for me so yea I guess I'm "geriatric" hahahahaha *snort* It's a good forum, that's the point. And welcome to the fun Shay!

[Heather Shay]

i am using my phone with my sausage fingers. i finally the context of geriatic and i took no offense 

i thought it was being fun. 

 

i agree100% on being so thankful to find ladies at least nearer in age then the fortunate youngens. i can relate to you and am extremely thankful i found you. you have made me feel comfortable for the first time in,about a bazillion years (now that's geriatic)

I keep physically and mentally active and at 71 am a long way from being over the hill.  But I can say I notice a difference decade to decade.  But now that I've been out for 2 years and on HRT 6 months, I'm too darn excited about the next milestone(s) to feel, well, geriatric ?

[Erikka]

Well I am not geriatric because I am only 30.....................................with 40 years experience.

 

[Heather Shay]

you ladies so cool...i sure am glad you are all here. As my topic title says, first I do every morning is check your comments and always get a smile. It is a wonderful way to meet the day.

Shay

[Carrie]

Well morning to you Shay. It is almost my bedtime now. ?

 

Perhaps we should go with generic. ?

Take care

Carrie

As far as I am concerned you are as old as you feel unfortunately some times I feel like I'm  110. but mostly younger than my 55 yrs.

 

Most mornings I check TP first thing. Well after getting Patrick (our long hair miniature Dachshund)   his breakfast. It is a morning ritual anymore.

 

Kymmie

[Heather Shay]

That is so cool - give Patrick a nice hug for me and tell him some girl he doesn't know has a crush on him.   :)

Me, too, Kymmie.  Thankfully the <= days still outnumber the > days.

 

I've gotten into a ritual, too.  This is my wakeup time, while I'm getting the sleepy cobwebs cleared out.  Can usually find a laugh and an inspiration here to get my day going right.
