I was all dressed again this afternoon and the doorbell rang. I hesitated out of long habit, then peaked out the door window, which is high relative to the front porch. I saw one of my neighbors, an older widow lady that is a good friend. So I took a breath and opened the door. She said, "Oh, a crossdresser?" I said, "yep, come on in." It was great. She wanted to see how I was doing from my operation and we had a really nice visit. She complimented me on how pretty I looked!!! She was perfectly fine with it and said I should do what pleases me and not worry about others. Wow. She said she has not worn a skirt (I was wearing one) in years, but seeing how nice I looked, she thought she should. Anyway, another mental barrier is down. But there are still some folks I might rather not show myself to. We'll see. Whew, this is quite an adventure.
