Once again I am apologizing for my absence, not that I haven't kept up with the adventures of my bloggers in arms.
It was a tough week with some serious downs that I really don't want to talk about yet. In fact I was not going to post anything... till this morning.
I was up till the wee hours last night to meet a deadline for the first section of a major industry directory I am working on. Just enough time this morning to drink two very large coffees, make some last minute edits and then get ready for a dental appointment.
I drove the Jaguar which seems to have developed a mysterious tranny leak (no jokes please), just like the Thunderbird....ah the joys of vintage cars. The sun has returned but no accompanying warm weather, in fact it snowed on April 1st! see photo below.
After my mostly routine appointment the receptionist out of the blue tells me I look, "absolutely stunning and gorgeous". I was rather at a loss for words having rushed to get ready that morning and was still suffering the effects of having burnt the candle at both ends. Nor was not wearing anything fancy just black jeans and a sweater.
She then asks where I am from, uh England I say, "Oh I would have thought you were Scandinavian being so tall and blonde"
I was taken aback as I thought everyone in the office was aware of my "past", clearly she was not as
she asked about children and then complimented me on my figure and asked about my husband.
OK enough singing my own praises but I did feel like a million bucks driving home.

ahhh it must be that wonderful hair of yours. and i seep to always be repeating myself why is it the British gals have such great looking hair? i still say it must be the mist from the Channel LOL
ReplyDeleteall kidding aside it comes from your innner self and how comfortable you are being you. i can see it in the photos that you are comfortable and confidant within your own inner self. and that is what makes the difference.
Its so good to get a compliment isn't it? I don't, but I don't expect any now. But I had my share when I looked like Kylie, now I'm happy to be me. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you. You do look fab !
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I should add that what I really took away from this happy incident was how important our words are and how much we can uplift those around us with a little encouragement.
ReplyDeleteAnd Joey, it was especially great to see you here, I hope that it means you are sticking around....we need you too!
I'm here, I'm here! And yes you are right, our words are so important. I try to give compliments because I know how wonderful it is to receive them, especially when we are trans. :)
