Simple thoughts

Of all the art I cherish, this is the one that I love to view from time to time. It speaks to me, and offers a warm feeling. Perhaps it is comforting. Perhaps when I look at it, it makes me feel as if I am seeing myself in a mirror.
As I continue to explore my uniqueness with being transgendered, this picture tells me that "I'm OK". Perhaps someday I will find myself in a more modern cafe setting writing in a journal, drinking a glass of wine (or maybe a latte), and enjoying that moment of being me.

A new season

Autunm is my favorite time of year. I await the many colors of the leaves where I live.
There hasn't been much to write about in my transgender "coming out". I'm working on a letter to my brother that someday I will give to him that fully explains my needs and wishes. It is a difficult letter to compose. Once written, I will discuss it with my therapist, perhaps make changes, take a deep breath and talk to my brother. I'll give him the letter after.

I also hope to revisit this issue with my wife. It is long overdue.
