Phyllis🦋 @palston.bsky.social · 03/10/2025“Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again. Let these years be your treasure years. You don’t need fame. You don’t need perfection. You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.” ~Patricia Routledge 010

He had many health problems & always recovered until Cancer 6 yrs ago. Each night I’d hold him, kiss him & tell him how proud I was of him 🐾🐈⬛ 050
Phyllis🦋 @palston.bsky.social · 17/08/2025#BlackCatAppreciationDay 🐈⬛ This is Afrika. My first born. He was my little protector. Afrika and I lived on our own and travelled together. Each morning he’d wake me with butterfly kisses. After he died, I could feel his presence - wind blowing through the trees. 🐾🐈⬛ 030
Phyllis🦋 @palston.bsky.social · 15/07/2025" I’ve learned that what truly matters… takes time." There are no shortcuts that don’t cost double later. If you have to force something to fit — it probably wasn’t meant for you. And when something is truly meant for you… you don’t have to chase it. It finds you -in peace. — Denzel Washingtonmedia.tenor.coma close up of a man 's face with the hashtag #theequalizer3 on the bottomALT: a close up of a man 's face with the hashtag #theequalizer3 on the bottom 000
