More independent for sure. Even more confident. A weird thought for a Marine ex-cop, ex-underground miner, former corporate sales guy, now therapist - but its true.

Much happier...I'm more me.

To paraphrase an old A.A. line, "I feel more like I do now than I did before I started wearing kilts full time."

Seems like every "look" and double take just makes me stand a little bit taller and prouder.

And of course I'm happy since the boys aren't cramped up all day :-D
