SD--I have fringes on my cowgirl boots--and I guess that might make me look like a sissified westerner. But I have 2 other pairs of boots in my closet as well--and one of them is brown leather with a stiletto heel. That's hardly a cutesy look. I wear them when I mean business...

Lou--I still laugh at your funny paragraph about being old vs. previous. You really do crack me up!

I'm glad you find my musings helpful. I'm now a whole lot more inclined to spill my guts, and posting gives me practice on saying how I feel. In general, I think this place has been good for my health.

Books... well, I just finished End the Struggle and Dance with Life by Susan Jeffers. I found it a most helpful read and the audience not targeted to male or female. I also am a huge fan of Byron Katie's I Need Your Love--Is It True?

H2H recommended Susan Jeffers' Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. I guess I'm going to have to display my reading material in flight, because I really do want to read it before my fiction selection next to it.

I also started re-reading portions of Shortcuts Through Therapy by Richard Carlson. Good info on thought stopping there.

Or are you looking for a particular subject matter?

Where all the recommended reads here are excellent and designed to help us work on our R with others, lately I'm into books that help me understand myself better and feel happier. I should probably take out stock in B&N, Borders or Amazon...

Let me know if you have any specific areas of interest, and if I don't know, I'll ask my friends.

I'm glad you see my sexual orientation is obvious. When making friends, though, it's immaterial to me. SD is a really wonderful lady. I'm still up to taking her as my date to the gay prom in February, but that means she needs to come to Denver to go with me. If not, I have my standing date--a really good friend who doesn't mind that others think we're a lesbian couple. We've been seen together in that world for so long that I know people think we're committed partners. And that's just too funny.

But I really do like men in bed. It's just me.

Have a great Sunday!

Betsey
