Happiness is....

[ReneeT]

OK, girls, let us know what makes you smile! I'll get things going:

1. breast forms that are body temp (means you've been wearin' them!)

2. 3 hours to get ready and someplace great to go

3. high heels, of course!

now, your turn!

[SuzanneBender]

A caveat so I don't look shallow. For sake of the line of this thread I am going to stay away from the obvious things that bring me happiness like my wife, kids, puppies dogs, long walks on the beach, mudwrestling (wait forget I said that last one)

Little parts of my womanhood that make me smile:

Slipping on your wig and it looks perfect from the start.

Having the SA tell you that the dress you found that you love is 70% off.

A man holding the door for me.

Getting to meet sisters and brothers from this site.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

1. When you weigh yourself you lost a couple of pounds. :)

2. That dress or outfit that you could not fit into a few weeks ago, now fits
perfectly and is in someways too big for you. :yippee:

3. Having all day from sun up to sun down to dress, try on different outfits,
take pictures until you go through 2 packs of batteries with no
distractions or interuptions.

4. The pictures actually turn out good. :yahoo:

[Samantha_Smile]

The feeling of cool, light satin on my skin.

The feeling of a deep waist belt giving me a girly waist.

Simple things

[Kayla Shadows]

Good friends to talk with about things and go out.

The smell of a new purse.I :<3: leather.

New shoes.

[Karren H]

..... Giving someone in need an unexpected gift (Random Acts Of Kindness).... Receiving makeup from a female friend out of the blue..... A new pair of ice skates that fit like a glove.... scoring the winning goal in double overtime.... Touching the Stanley Cup....

[ReneeT]

Awesome! these things make me happy too! (except maybe the ice skates!)

[Shari]

Smooth silky hosiery

A six strap garter belt

A nylon/spandex camisole that hugs you all over.

[Gillian]

Happiness is,,,,,,,,,

Being me in my clothes for a whole day, or preferrably longer!

[melissacd]

1. Understanding and accepting who you are.

2. Having others understand and accept you for who you are.

3. Living your life true to that understanding and acceptance.

4. Oh yeah...lots and lots of skirts ;)

[Koka]

When I keep my 125lb body even though I eat like a T-Rex
When I wear my outfits and high heels and walk around the streets of New York City..
When I get called "miss" by somebody.
and finally when I have my SO getting my new clothes.

[JustWendy]

1. Finding a dress that's not too small on top while not being too big in the waist. That's why I mostly wear skirts.:o
2. Waking up on a Wednesday and realizing that the snow has given me a bonus day to dress.:daydreaming:
3. Almost any post by Suzanne or Karren - a wonderful combination of good information and a great sense of humor :lol:

[kimdl93]

1. my little grandson's smile
2. my wife's embrace and kiss, especially when I'm fully dressed
3. being greeted as "honey" by my favorite SA
4. as ReneeT said, feeling the warmth of my breast forms

[minalost]

1. Getting the shape of a nail just right.
2. The look and feel of satin (somebody already said this, but you can't like satin too much!).
3. Shopping for skirts, shoes, and anything else Mina wants.
4. Making my wife laugh.

[sweet_tiffany]

1. Family would accept me for anything whats my decision would be
2. Loving and understanding myself who really i am.
3. fullfill my innermost dream in life which i wanted to become a fulltime woman
4. someone who can love me and accept for who i am

[Angelofsomekind]

1.Being able to be who I really am, and others are cool with it.
2.Fitting into a dress I bought years and years ago.
buying new shoes!
3.Getting a corset on and seeing the shape it creates.
4.Eyeshadow then it goes on just the way you wanted it to.
5.When you order something and you get home and see it in the mailbox as you drive in.
6.Knowing you are probably wearing sexier panties than most of the women around.

[EnglishRose]

Finding an item of clothing that has sleeves that actually go to my wrists :)

[sherri52]

Happiness is a warm gun (Beatles)

seriously though
Looking in the mirror and seeing that the makeup is flawless
Finding a great pair of heels in the store (usually can't find a nice pair of size 13s)
Getting out of a warm bath and feeling the smooth body that I had just shaved
Finding a great deal anytime

[jenna_woods]

you've said it all that;s happeness and of course my skirt

[Sarah Doepner]

growing my nails out and not breaking one before I get a chance to shape and pain them.

seeing the same girl in the photo that I saw in the mirror

getting home and not hearing any of the rude comments or seeing anyone staring

my wife saying "You are going to dress tonight, aren't you?"

discovering that I already had a skirt/top that matched

having another girl from this site send me a message thanking me for something I said

smelling my perfume on my pillow in the morning

knowing there are so many things on both side of the gender line that make me happy

[Kathi Lake]

I'm kind of dense, and easily amused, so **Squirrel!!**

Ummmm, . . Where was I?

Oh yeah, happiness thingies!

Let's see, being told by a GG that she hates me for my body, is envious of me for my happiness as a woman, is proud of me for my ability to be me, or is just happy for me . . .

Shopping!! It's not just the buying part of it, though I must say, the crinkle of tissue paper as the purchase is slipped into the shopping bag does make me shiver with antici . . . . . pation! It's "the thrill of the hunt." It's finding just the right outfit, or the right top that goes great with an existing skirt, the right accessories.

Basically, I am a flawed individual. I have the ability to be happy in any situation. Sure, other people look at me funny (Lord knows I'm used to that anyway), but who cares? I'm happy!

:)

[PretzelGirl]

Going out for the first time and it going well.

Having local CD/TS friends.

Acceptance!

[Nicole Erin]

Good friends to talk with about things and go out.

The smell of a new purse.I :<3: leather.

New shoes.

Kayla is right, but I wonder if anyone would have said - "The smell of old shoes"?

For me -
Finding nice clothes in my size.
Weighing myself and seeing I am a couple pounds lighter.
Being able to go to school and not have to worry about being judged on my trannyness.

[Bowmanls2]

Slipping into new lingerie after a shower and a really close full body shave.

[StaceyJane]

Making the perfect video to put on youtube.

Amen Girl....Amen!

[ReneeT]

I can relate to all of these! There sure are a lot of things about cd-ing that make us happy. And I purged why????????

I just got in from a really nice GNO with two great gals, so I really connect with this:


Good friends to talk with about things and go out

[marny]

Your SO smiles and says " That's a cute skirt"

[Stormgirl]

I don't even know what happiness is anymore these days. :(

[Presh GG]

Happyness is...

1 Still haveing my parents alive and well in their late 80s.

2 Road trips with Tea [ pick a direction ]

3 Our cat [ look to your left isn't she beautiful ?]

4 A call or card from an old friend

5 A whole day without back pain.

The last 3 not necessarily in that order.

Presh GG

[marlacd]

Having my wife accept me dressing:thumbup:
Getting a makeup tip that works for me.
My wife getting me something pretty to wear:hugs:
Having the entire day to dress, with new clothing to wear

[Frédérique]

Happiness is....
OK, girls, let us know what makes you smile!

1. Wearing a pleated, tartan skirt (or an exceptionally girly dress).
2. Wearing hosiery, or being hugged by any garment made of Lycra/spandex…
3. Putting on my lipstick, makeup, earrings, and wig.
4. Doing all of the above at the same time, not necessarily in that order! :battingeyelashes:

[Starling]

...having another girl from this site send me a message thanking me for something I said...

Amen, Sarah. It's a real affirmation. Thank you for saying that.

:) Lallie

[Imogen_Mann]

Happyness is...

Not "having" to get changed back.

The cold feel of new shoes.

taking three hours to get ready... Even if I do have nowhere to go.

The moment the wig;s tops off the look, and the mirror shows Imogen not him.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Renee

For me happyness is getting dressed and spending
time on this forum with so many lovely friends.

girlie nights out with SO and friends,chance to let our hair down:)

[Starling]

...The cold feel of new shoes...

I love it too, Jayme. Maybe that's why I buy so many shoes. When economizing, have you ever tried refrigerating an older pair?

:heehee: Lallie

Slipping in to some comfy lingerie after a hard day at work.
Wandering around the house in a cute skirt


Kymmie

[docrobbysherry]

(Of course FAMILY, FRIENDS, and HEALTH r the real #1's!)
But, after those come the following;

1. Seeing Sherry at her best in the mirror and Pics!
(Considering the time and effort that go into creating her, that BETTER be #1!):brolleyes:

2. Receiving accepting and encouraging messages regarding my dressing from u girls here! ( Which often brings tears to my eyes!):cry:

4. Traveling to a new, exciting place!

5. The Lakers, Ducks, or UCLA winning another title!:cheer:

[julie w]

Walking around beautiful gardens on a summers day wearing a summer
skirt folding in the breeze thats my happy place .

[Audrey34]

1. Being able to dress up in my apartment all day and into the evening and feeling good about it.

2. Being at my cd support group and chatting with my friends there.

3. Working on my art while enfemme and not feeling distracted.

4. Getting positive compliments on how I look.

-Audrey

[sabrina mercedes]

Holy crap, this is hard!
1. being dressed when I want, for as long as I want
2. the feel of bare legs and a long skirt, yummy!
3. my makeup doesn't look like makeup!
4. being told you look hot!
5. being with girls who understand me, support and love me!!!
6. etc. etc. etc.:heehee:

[Ediosa]

"I'm kind of dense, and easily amused, so **Squirrel!!**" - Kathi Lake :lol2::heehee:

Okay for me the things that makes me happy.

1. My son's smile, most importantly.
2. Finding that perfect dress or outfit that makes me feel like a million bucks, not just in girl mode but also guy mode.
3. Along with number 2, the perfect outfit that makes me look like the girl I will hit on, which Shania Twain being one of those girls, therefore high standards.
4. The makeup being perfect, that makes no one ask the question, "Is that a guy", and I never want to take the makeup off.
5. Wearing the sexiest pair of heels and being able to wear them all day and night.
6. The smell of a beautiful perfume on me or the woman I am dating. Ahh, "The scent of a woman", woooahhhhh!!! :D
7. Wearing the silkiness/sheeriest/gorgeous pair of hose on my legs, which makes me know I am wearing them.
8. Having the perfect cleavage showing.
9. Shopping with money, therefore, I know I am going to get anything I want.
10. I can go on forever, but I will say, the best thing that makes me happy, is just when I can be me. I am happy with who I am.
:love:

[Midnight Skye]

Sighs... your wife looks at you covered in femininity top to bottom... smiles and says "Hey there beautiful!"

Oh oh! And when she bought girly stuff for my birthday!

So yeah... my number one happiness is a wife that puts up with my crazy-self :)

[jettjenny]

1). The entire afternoon alone at home for fun and games

2). Painted toe nails and 5 inch high heels

3). Lots of outfits to choose from

4). Camera and tripod.

[Starling]

...Working on my art while enfemme and not feeling distracted...

Isn't that nice, Audrey? Being dressed relaxes me and helps release my creativity, as well as giving me more energy to do household chores and other boring, repetitive or stressful tasks. When I'm dressed to express, everything is easier.


...being dressed when I want, for as long as I want...

So true, Sabrina! If I know I'm running up against a deadline, which is most of the time, there is an urgency to my dressing which diminishes the joyous feeling of freedom.


...the feel of bare legs and a long skirt, yummy!...

That's the quintessence of feminity for me! Playing a man means wearing ugly, restrictive, uncomfortable clothing.

Audrey and Sabrina, you both gave me a gift by reminding me to be thankful for these pleasures.

:daydreaming: Lallie

[Tomara]

For me it is a little different

1- Enjoying good health.
2- Having a honest , healthy and happy relationship
with my accepting girl friend.
3- Enjoying family and friends.
4- Accepting myself for the person I am.
5- Having this site and all of the wonderful people who
make this all possible as well as all of the members
to share our feelings with...... Thank You All !!!
6- Cold beer and a really good pizza !

:hugs:Tomara
