Out! :=)
Well, I am out to the world now. I decided a few months ago that it was time to come in to the light, so I chose Thanksgiving Day for the occasion.
A dear and talented friend gave me a makeover (for free!) before I went to Thanksgiving dinner, and I wore my royal blue dress for the first time, so I looked smashing, dignified and ladylike. One of my nieces who used to be an Esteẻ Lauder consultant picked out my accessories. Pictures to follow when I get them.
It went better than I could possibly have hoped. Everyone was loving, accepting and supportive, even though very surprised. Even the couple of guys who I could tell were backing away were polite and cordial. A couple of other guys whom I was worried about stunned me with their outpouring of support. One said “you were never one for the easy road”. All of the women were completely accepting. These are people whom I have known for over 30 years, so it was quite an adjustment for them.
SUCH A RELIEF. Now I don’t have to remember who knows and who doesn’t. God bless my wonderful, loving friends, both here and in RL.
Love
