I truly never thought I would be in this position. As I noted a few weeks ago I began wearing denim leggings to work. No one has said anything but I now realize that a bridge has been crossed and I want to take it to the next level. Nails, eye shadow, etc. Taking this route I will surely run into people that know me and that is where the proverbial rubber will hit the road. What does keep from going further is that my wife, who is understanding, may think that this is a bridge too far. In addition my children do not know and I don't think it would be received well. Am I placing my own needs above those I love? We can say they should accept you for who you are; but that seems too simplistic given the dynamics of human nature. This may be as far as I take this. If so I really cannot complain. I have had a wonderful life and much to be grateful for. A different time and a different place may have yielded different results. But we play the hands we are dealt.
