Well, it finally happened - i have a friend!   (lol!)  Thank you Muriel!No, really I don't think I am friendless, it's just that i am getting more active on URNA, and am bothering to figure out how to solicit friends to my profile.  Why is that?  Why now and what took me so long?  Maybe because I am finally feeling confident enough to do so.  Maybe because I am feeling a greater need all the time to communicate with others who understand what I am, and what I am going through.  Obviously to all here the common phrase is, "it's not going away".  Nyuh-uh, it itsn't.  It really, really, isn't.  And that, really, is a blessing.  It is who I am, and "I" am not going away, "I" am arriving.   It is fun being who I am, the only painful part is dealing with "who others thought I was".  But more on all that later.  I am still a bit of a baby to this, and am have come out to only a few people so far.  My pace could be considered pathetic, I suppose, but I am being cautious.  And with the patient help and loving-kindness of a dear, dear friend and mentor, i see a door in my life.  You know who You are, and thank You! Love, kathy;)
