The Journey Continues!

Wow I can't believe it has been four years since I last added a journal here. I guess I am a little behind or more likely I need to stop and take some more time to write my thoughts and experiences down.

The journey has continued though and there have been many ups and downs and starts and stops to various parts of my life since I last wrote here. Mostly good and more importantly, heading in the desired direction. The hrt has helped immensely not only in making me feel more like I should but also in giving me more confidence. I had to change doctors once and have had multiple adjustments to the type and doseage but finally think that has settled in and I am not dealing so much with the roller coaster of emotions as I once was.

I have also had some changes to my lifestyle during these last four years. I think I am settling down a little more...no, not giving up living! Just not that into the niteclub scene these days and finding it more enjoyable to go out to a quiet bar or host a get together where you can actually have a conversation and enjoy the company. Speaking of that, I also have altered my expectations a bit on the love life. It was a central focus for me four years ago and I think I put way too much pressure on me and the other person while I was still working through my own personal issues. Today I am not looking to settle down or settle for less. The major focus for me has to be me and when Mr Right happens to show up at the door I will hopefully be ready to better handle it than I used to be. In the meantime, I am focusing on just enjoying new experiences and learning so much more about who I am, what I like, and how that all fits into the other dimensions of Diana. There are still quite a few things on my to do list and I am going to take my time and enjoy the ride as I work to check them off.

I think I'll stop here for now and try and add more thoughts later. I'll have to make sure though I am a bit more timely between adds!
