Have you ever thought that The Universe sends you messages and prompts that nudge you on your way through Life?
For the last two months, I have been living at a friend's house while my home is being remodeled. He only uses it 4 times a year and was kind enough to let me stay there. Today, I decided to lay out by the pool, catch some rays, and work on a tan. The pool guy has been coming late in the afternoon, so I reasoned that he would not interrupt me at 12:30. He used to be my pool guy, but was transferred to my friend's area. I knew him well in guy mode. I put on my new tankini, applies a minimal amount of makeup, ventured out to the pool.
I read for a 10 minutes, put the book down, closed my eyes and drifted off in to a light slumber. A loud CLANK woke me and I knew the pool guy had come early. Of course! He was on the other side of the pool and cleaning the tile. I waved to him and gestured for him to come over to me. He pulled out his earbuds and walked over. He stood 4 feet from me.
"I suppose you have some questions you want to ask me?", I inquired.
"What do you mean?", he replied, genuinely confused.
"It's me., {insert guy name}. I'm transgendered.", I said with a big smile.
"Oh! I thought you were your wife! How have you been?", he exclaimed.
"I will take that as a compliment! I'm doing great!", I replied. And he went off to finish the pool.
So, back to the part about The Universe. Am I being told -again- that generally people don't care? This has been another coming out situation that has reinforced my desire to just come out to everybody, let the chips fall as they may, and go on with my Life. Perhaps it's not that simple, but momentum is building.
