    Umteenth feel good post

    Last night I was working at the Catholic high school, for the end of year concert. As I began cleaning up, two women approached, and said 'Paula, right?'.
    Yup. 'Our kids are graduating, so we won't see you again. We've seen you here for four years, and just never said Thank You.'
    If they've been coming to parent events for four years, they've seen me for 2 1/2, as a guy, and 1 1/2 as a woman. No one has ever had a comment, good or bad, about me switching sides, in fact, I was wondering if anybody had noticed LOL. It's always nice to get thanks for a job well done, but extra special when it was clear they knew I had transitioned, and were still just happy I was there.

    That was very kind of them and speaks well of your impact too!

    Invisibility/bumpless is what most of us want, right?

    Congratulations for getting there

    You do YOU like nobody else does, and how nobody else has to explain.

    ROCK IT, Honey!

    We all need a feel good comment from time to time. Those that mean the most are the one that we least expect. I hope that this feel good doesn't mean that your own personal little black cloud is coming soon, sometimes it seems that we go from one extreme to the other.

    I'm glad they took the time to say thanks.

    Hugs, Bria

    Paula;

    Very nice.. Nice to be recognized for your impact and contributions. We are who we are... Switching sides is mostly self actualization in the end.

    Makes me smile.

    Cheers...

    Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.

    Paula, that had to be one of those sweet moments that we never expect. Just shows that you are an amazing woman.

    You are allowed to bask in the moment.

    Hugs,

    I have to say that a compliment like that comes from an extra higher level. If they were uncomfortable at all or didn't thoroughly appreciate your efforts, it isn't hard to just walk out. You made more than just a passing impact. :

    Good going, kid!
