Hi all,
This is to warn you in advance about the upcoming issue that you won't like.
"What upcoming issue?" you ask.
Am I getting ready to write something so controversial that many
people will violently disagree with it?
Have I run across something that I am about to post that I
think will bring the same reaction?
No.
This is for an unknown and/or as of yet unwritten issue.
This is for the issue that you won't like.
Life itself is issues.
Each day is a new chapter, a new episode, a new show, often with
new characters, new situations, new plots and new endings.
Some we don't like.
"Issues."
We all have had issues.
Whenever you deal with real issues, someone won't like the answer. Guaranteed. The only way to prevent it is to not deal with real issues, but that choice is an issue itself.
Sooner or later, there will be a issue that you
don't like or won't agree with.
Some say, "but I've loved all of the....
Wait.
It's coming.
It may take years, but it's coming.
Married?
Sooner or later another issue is coming that you won't like.
Your husband/wife will do something that you won't like.
Got a boss?
Sooner or later an issue is coming that you won't like.
Your boss will do something that you don't like.
Got family?
Sooner or later "another" issue is coming that you won't like.
They will do something that you don't like.
Parents, children, the government, the church, you name it;
sooner or later, they will do something that you don't like.
Issues of life
The issue that you don't like is not the key to life,
but it can open the door to hell.
One issue causes divorces, family feuds that never end, job
stress and turmoil, friends to split and even countries to war.
The key is not the bad issue but to focus on the good issues, which usually outnumber the bad by multiples.
A forum is the same way.
People will come for months.
They are blessed for months. They say so. Then suddenly they are gone.
Such is life.
Such is the nature of issues.
In your marriage, your family, your job, your nation, don't let one small issue that you
don't agree with or don't like, make you go POOF.
For that issue is coming, guaranteed.
It is the nature of the issues of life.
The Issue That You Don't Like.

Hi whoever you are, 
Right behind the upcoming issue you won't like will come a beautiful, beautiful blessing where you, at least in part, will understand the trial you went through. Clarity and acceptance will come to you after this upcoming issue you won't like. So don't worry too much about things you can't control. You can control how much you love yourself, so take solace in that.
You (whoever you are) are wonderful, beautiful, and someone who deserves the blessings that anyone else deserves. With some tragedy comes some relief, some comfort, some hidden meaning to why things happen. It may not come the day after a tragedy, trouble, or grief, but it will come.
Be strong (whoever you are). Know that in the end love will save the day!
Remember also if you stay with what you're going through long enough and if you believe in yourself you will see that fate doesn't have something against you. You are a winner and you are beautiful (whoever you are).

Life is a series of "Issues", opportunities, choices.
Each time we make a choice, we create issues. Some may be minor, other may be major. What ever choice we make, hopefully, the issue will be minor.
Hopefully, we will have minor issues as hopefully,as we become older/wiser, we will be able to make better / more informed choices the having less impacting issues.

Re: The Issue That You Don't Like.
Wendy's right.
All issues can be opportunities if you let them.
I try to leave the half empty glass on the table and reach for the one that's half full.
Loretta, one phrase in your post outshines the rest.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take
But by the moments that take our breath away.
Hugs,
Kyra

My belief is that life is what you make it. You take the opportunities that come your way. If you allow issues to drag you down, whether they have happened or you're fearful of them happening, it will suck the life out of you. Life is too short to dwell on the negative or 'what might be'.
Stay positive and that attitude will be a magnet for friends, opportunity and other good things.

My sisters are so right!! WE all have our crosses to bear, but what our attitude is about those crosses and how we bear them, makes all the difference! I will say this, if crossdressing is a cross to bear, (it ain't for me!) but if it were, I would do it happily - forever if necessary!
Love you all,
Virginia
Love you all,
Virginia

I'm going to take a page out of Gracie's book and say this:
I knew if I waited long enough someone (or in this case, many someones!) would say exactly what I was thinking! I couldn't have said it any better if I had tried!
Crosses to bear? Yes, we all have them, in many forms, and what makes the difference is how we choose to handle them.
Opportunities? Definitely! Make the most of them, or you'll forever be playing the 'What if....?' game, and that's a losing game.
If you dwell on the negative long enough, you become a negative person yourself, and then the negative side wins. Being a positive person makes everyone happy, yourself included!
Hugs, everyone!

Issues? What issues?
Life is an issue. Good or bad you have to take your punches and come back swinging. I agree with Virginia,we all have our crossdressers to bear. Speaking of crosses,it's a symbol everywhere in every church you ever go into. If the son of God ever makes a return you think he wants to ever see another cross? I think not! 
Hugs
Love Jeannie
