Stress Busters

Lagged a bit on my Eating plan but coped with some of the stress by going to the Coming Out group at the Community Centre. Even though a lot of the gals don't face the same challenges as I do, it's just nice to connect and hear some fresh ideas.
Came out to my Minister at the "old" church as I knew he was an ally. We worked out an arrangement to keep me involved there in a minor way, while I make new friends at MCC in the LGBT community. Would love to move downtown but am coping with the travel on transit pretty well.
Also came out to another girl-friend & she was the first one that didn't push me away. She actually hugged me when she brought me home and said "call me anytime". She works in HR, so, I figured that she had exposure to LGBT folks and can also be discrete.
So, two more months till my son moves out...goodbye beer & junk food but also "see you again soon" for laughter and boisterous hockey watching on TV. Gotta take the good with the bad. Lol !!
