    Lessons learned and new firsts.

    Last night I left the safety of my apartment as Karen. I was so excited and so scared. It was after dark and only to the post office but I did it. First steps are always the hardest but they are also our greatest victories.
    Besides I looked good!

    Hi Karen and congrats on your first steps out! Do be careful though when out and about alone at night.

    Hugs

    Way to go Karen! It hasn't been that long since I took my first steps out of the closet into the shadows of night that I don't remember how thrilling it is! Its an important step and one you will never regret. Now when do we get together and hit the mall?

    Now that you've got some practice, try a few daylight trips.

    Before you know it, you'll be dancing through the mall yelling "Look at me! Look at me!"

    Well, perhaps not.

    My first forays out into the world as Stephanie with the exception of Halloween was to mail a letter, return a library or get a free newspaper from a sidewalk box. Next came leisurely strolls in the early fall evenings. I became more concerned over my clicking high heels on those strolls. I switched to a lower heel with a deadening sole.

    Congrats on that first big step. I, too, can remember all of my midnight strolls. They were, and still are, very exhilarating, to say the least. Eventually, though, at least for me, the cover of darkness gets a little old and is just not enough. Roll with the progression and see where it takes you. That's what I'm doing.

    Way to go Karen, I remember my first time out (to wal-mart at night), it was the scariest and the most fun thing I've ever done in my life and I bet it was for you as well. Now that you've done it once, it will become more difficult to just stay home. Be careful and have fun.

    Good on ya' Karen. Going out is a massive thrill. I have done the 'night stalker' adventure and it was HUGE (to me anyway) even if it was in a very quiet seaside town at 3.30am, but nearly got busted by the cops. Story posted elsewhere in the forum)
    But as Isha says do take care, put a brick in your handbag for luck (lol)

    Congratulations on your recent adventure!

    There's a lot to be said for going out in daylight and to places where there are more people about. You'll be surprised at how little attention is paid to a fiftysomething woman in a shopping mall. People will glance at you, but there are far more interesting things to draw their attention away. Having more people around also gives you the opportunity to test the waters when it comes to interacting with others. Controlled interactions, such as those with salespeople, are a great way to break the ice.
