A good day

[samantha rogers]

Day by day. That's how I live these days. Last week I talked to the VP where I work, told her I was trans. She was awesome. So the steps toward being myself at work have started.
Today, with much trepidation, I sat down with my 22 year old son and told him. He was awesome.
So far, and I'm no fool...I know this won't last forever...but so far...everyone I have told has been amazing.
I am blessed...I don't understand how or why...but I am blessed that the people in my life are the salt of the Earth.
I am very humble and very grateful today.

Hi Samantha,

Am very happy for you. I also have a few more to come out to down the road. I am thinking of a good friend right now, a long tim elementary friend. Hope he will not freak. He is a Monthy Python fan, he will surely come with the Loretta joke from Life of Brian. But I am willing to take it. I just hope (know) he likes me more that not accepting this. On the other hand, I think without this information, he will not understand me better and we will not be able to discuss life as we did up till now.

Kiises,

Detty

Surround yourself with people that "get it" and life will go better always.

Bravo girl!

Wonderful story, congratulations. I was touched by the part about your son, you must feel pride too, as you raised him.

[Katey888]

Yaaay Sammie!!! :cheer:

I'm sure you are justifiably very grateful... but so should everyone else be for having you in their life too... :)

You're an inspiration and a very fine example of a good person who deserves the respect and consideration that you show so much of towards others... I hope it continues long time for you! :yahoo:

You are blessed because you are a good person. I believe ultimately in life we all get what we deserve and you deserve to live at peace, to be yourself. My heart is full for you, I am so very happy for you!

Good things happen to good people

Good for you and for that VP and your son! The awesome people in your life are probably a reflection of the awesome person you are. I agree with Fortuneta, that sometimes good things happen to good people. (that doesn't mean people who get bad reactions deserve them though! sometimes it's just the "luck of the draw")

Hell-o Sammie,
Do you believe in Karma?
Much Love,

[chelyann]

congratulations
good things come to those that wait :)

[GretchenJ]

I am very happy that things are moving very nicely in your transition, but like the others are saying, people are accommodating because people like you for who you are and no matter if you are male or female, you are still a good person and want to be your friend regardless...

God bless.

[happybra]

Very happy for you :)

[bridget thronton]

The people who love you will support you

You've had some great times and you've had some trials. Some of them were pretty tough.

Throughout it all, you have persevered, with a positive attitude, and a realistic 'next step'. The road doesn't end here, and I doubt that your attitude will either.

Whatever happens to be the next step, Sammie, I am certain that you will handle it with your characteristic good spirit and humility.

Best wishes
MsVal

Sami, You continue to inspire so many by just being who you are. I am so happy for you.

[Leah Lynn]

It's so wonderful to have a supporting family. All my family members have been very supportive and all but one friend have been.

I hope all goes well for you. There are enough problems and headaches with transitioning, that you don't need any haters.

Hugs,

Leah

[kimdl93]

It fair to say that the positive response you've received is a positive reflection on the kind of person you are. Call it Karma...or as the Beatles said...' The love you take is equal to the love you make.'

[Mollyanne]

Good for you Sam!!!!!! Just goes to show ya', there are many, many good people in this crazy world of ours.

Best of luck with the "comin' out"

I hope the road you travel down is full of encouragement.

I'm glad to hear it. Acceptance is important to everyone. To borrow from Indian Jones and the last crusade "you chose wisely"

[Christen]

People are awesome. Good for you Sammie!!
