Pgh Lesbian Correspondents

A list?

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be okay

Living Years, Mike & The Mechanics

I’m not planning on kicking the bucket soon. However, I have decided to get a jump start on all those things I’ve wanted to do. This past year has reminded me that the living years fly by. I’m okay. Maybe ‘just’ okay some days, but better than okay on others.

My friend recently bought me a 2025 cat calendar to remind me to look ahead with anticipation. I hung it next to my current year’s calendar near my bed.

This is a good reminder to stay focused on the right-now while remaining confident of a future.

Some are one-time things. Other are new regular routines. None are about impending death. They are about life!
