CHERISH EACH MOMENT
I have experienced loss the past few months. Each one feels different but a loss nevertheless. Whenever I think about the person(s), I think about the time I talked with them, dined with them, did activities with them.
I cherish the moments shared. They varied in length but were important. Cherish the moments you are because it will be gone. We were brought together for a certain amount of time, then moved on with our journeys.
Life moves on, however, I take the time to smell the roses. I celebrate the lives that have transitioned, reminding me it was time for them to take flight. Gone physically but forever in my heart.

I HAVE VALUES TOO
Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has declared June as "Fidelity Month" rather than Pride Month. A few other states are doing the same under different titles. It encourages Americans to renew their dedication to faith, family, community, and country.
I was pricked with thought that Pride Month is being minimized and contributions by LGBTQ folks minimized. I have faith in God, have a family, involved in the community, and patriotic (a military veteran). I am also transgender. LGBTQ folks are contributing to society.
Perhaps I'm making a fuss about this; I'm just reading between the lines. I am not going to be pushed to the margins. . I absolutely refuse to go to the sidelines.
HAPPY PRIDE

PRIDE MONTH IS COMING
June is pride month. I will be going to a few events this year. I'm working during what my feelings will be this year. There's so much happening around the country regarding the welfare or trans folks.

MEMORIAL DAY TREK
I visited the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial on Memorial Day. It is a trek that make annually. I was in the army (1971-74) during the Vietnam conflict.
I read some of the comments on the wall. Sitting near the fountain, the old conflicted feelings came up. I never served in Vietnam. The people on the wall were my contemporaries. I almost came to tears.
I am proud of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. The conflicted feelings I experience will always be 5here, I suppose. No matter, I will keep coming here thanking them in my own way. I was a soldier once. Guess I will always be.

CHRISTOPHER STREET PIER
I come here a few times in the summer. This is one of few places I can completely be myself.

TRANSITION IS ONGOING
I believe transition is an ongoing process. It's emotional and spiritual to me because life circumstances have dictated this. Iiffe doesn't stand still, so I move along where it takes me.
After I came out as trans, I posted 'Better late than never." I have focused on aloneness in my writings. I'm not lonely; I just enjoy being by myself. As a septugenarian, passing my wisdom to younger folks is a way of helping them in their journey.
I am writing on topics such as sex, the desire to leave everything behind, solitude, spirituality, and resilience. I am compelled to challenge much of the conventional views about these topics.

SECOND FAVORITE
This was my second favorite spot in my youth. The streets were so crowded that you shuffled along. There were restaurants, headshops, theaters, music venues, and headphones, excitement. Friday nights and Saturdays were my time to let loose. I wasn't crazy; I just needed to have the freedom to be different without having to conform to societal moms which could be stifling at times.
