Contentment is being satisfied with who one is.
I have been thinking about this word all day. It is a heartfelt prayer that I have for all my transgender sisters and brothers. The fiery darts of hate and negativism are thrust our way almost daily.
I'll never forget that day in August 2006. I was strolling through the park enjoying the warm weather. A warm feeling swept over me. I felt relaxed and serene with my surroundings. For the first time, I felt that I could call myself a transgender woman and emphatically mean it. I was content with my identity. The inner angst was gone. Peace filled my heart. I was truly complete.

Genevieve, this is lovely--and so true. Being content with ourselves, accepting us as God does, holds the answers to much of what we dread or fear. If I'm happy and I know God's happy, the anger and deceit of someone else's unhappiness simply doesn't compute.
Simple post...and so so true.
White noise. It's wonderful. I'm beginning to feel it myself.
Lovely, life affirming! Thank you.
