			Im thankful that I'm learning to be patient and think things thru. I'm quite proud of myself of how I handled some irate customers last night. Normally, I would listen, and then come back with something that sounded smart ass like. Got me in trouble every time, I was then labeled rude. I took it personally and would be upset for a few hours.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Last night, I didn't let it get to me and I stood my ground. I was not the bad guy. Actually, I'm quite proud of myself. Thank you, lesson learned, it does work. Keep practicing it !

			I am thankful when online, I do not have hidden agendas. That way, I am not ever hurt or disappointed for being unable to pull/pry a particular response I desired  from someone ... no matter how much I tried, tried, tried ....and no matter how kind, kind kind I was for so so so long, long, long ... and then in some kind of sickness, go off on someone who had not a clue of my hidden agenda. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	just sayin ... because things finally became (across the board) crystal clear It is online, for geez sake!  |

			I'm thankful for a sleepy voice on the phone that said, all in a rush, "I had a dream that you didn't know how much I appreciate you and how important you are to me.  I woke up feeling scared that it was true and I had to call you before you left for your run.  Is that stupid?  Please don't think it's stupid." 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I'm thankful for the happiness in my heart and the big, dumb grin on my face. I'm thankful for finding this website and for being welcomed by the people who've offered support and advice (and taught me how to post a picture). Posting here gives me an opportunity to sort out my thoughts in a way I haven't been familiar with in the past and I'm finding it surprisingly effective. I sometimes felt a bit silly having such a school kid crush but as time goes on I feel more and more as if I'm really going somewhere with this woman. It's kind of a relief to be able to sort out the new experience here before doing it with face to face friends. My oldest friends (a husband and wife) have been extremely encouraging and supportive but we're all busy people and don't see one another as often as I'd like. Being able to chat with new friends here has been a real pleasure. I'm thankful, as a transman, for being welcomed here. There was zero acceptance for transpeople when I transitioned in my 20's. It was harder for transwomen (still is IMHO) but transguys had it rough too. Most of us had to make things up as we went along and hope it wouldn't get us killed, or worse. I can remember getting my first T illegally in Tijuana. Everyone knew at least one guy who died of heart failure because no one could (or would) provide the right info about dosage. 25+ years later it never ceases to amaze me that I'm living in the opposite end of that world. My hat's off to the moderators and admins who make this website, and others like it, possible.  |

			I got some sort of kid carried creeping crud of a cold on Wednesday.  It came up on me all at once at work, the whole 9 -fever, cough, body aches, misery.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I am so grateful that I am in a place now that I can take a day off with pay. I am so grateful that I could afford to go the drug store and shop indulgently for cold related items, real Nyquil, trashy book, soda, hard candy for my throat, orange juice, box of kleenex, day time cold stuff for work. Then this weekend I rented a couple of movies, read my trashy book, binge watched shows on netflix while on cold drugs, slept like 19 hours a day. I am grateful that I had the ways and means to take care of myself when I was sick, to nuture myself and yes, even baby myself. I am so grateful for where I am in my life right now. I think I am starting to feel a little safe after living on the dire edge for a really long time. Fuckin' phew.
