I Wish I Was Born a Girl

I have had these thoughts on and off for almost my entire life.
I've enjoyed my escapes into femininity when I could find the time to do so.
My life as a man has been rewarding and I have a beautiful and wonderful wife and great kids and grandkids.
I'm writing this story today because more than ever right now I wish I were female. The reason is, as the man of the house I have responsibilities and at times these duties can be difficult for a petite man like me. As I get older things become more difficult for me to be the masculine part of this family.
Why am I writing this today? The weather has been my worst nightmare for the last 24 hrs. and the snow and ice on the driveway is unbelievable. Both cars are stuck in ice and my wife needs me to shovel out this morning for her to go to work.
I'm not sure if I can do this. I'm not feeling good this morning nor was I feeling good yesterday afternoon. I have had 2 heart attacks in the last few years and right now I'm having strange feelings of another one coming on. I don't want to alarm anyone, but I'm scared to go out and shovel and push myself.
Masculinity at times Sucks! If I were female there would be no question that I can't shovel all that snow.
Don't tell me to ask for help because that wouldn't happen until I was in the hospital with another heart attack.

If you were a woman you'd have had a ton of other responsibilities. And you could be the wife of a sickly man and would have to shovel the drive. Or a woman who enjoyed shoveling the drive with her kids or her husband or her girlfriend. Being a woman doesn't excuse you from having to get things down.
I'm getting older and I have difficulty the things that I used to be doing. But I get up and do them. And sometimes I do them in a dress.
If shoveling your cars out is going to put you at risk of another heart attack you owe it to your family to find someone to help.

Exactly!! Good advice Joanie.

Thank you! I understand her, and we all get there at times. And we want to vent. But it doesn't help unless we get motivations inside or out that move us.
