Had the family over for Christmas dinner last night

Well, last night, we had our Christmas dinner, and it was wonderful. There was a moment, when my daughter was on one side of me, my mom on the other, my brother and sister behind, and the dog in front, and I realized just how blessed I am, that here I was, literally surrounded by love, even in the midst of my transition which gives my family fits.

Once upon a time, I created a character named Fluke and described her as "the luckiest woman alive" but I think that title really belongs to me instead.

To all my friends and family here, especially those who understand what its like to be transgendered, I pray that someday, you will have a moment like I had today.

Merry Christmas, and as Tiny Tim put it, "God bless us, everyone."
