Hello my darling ❤️

It's Friday lunchtime and the sun is shining on the trees at the back of the garden. From my kitchen window I can see them slowly but surely turning into beautiful autumn colours. A light breeze is blowing through the flat, from the window in the living room, through the kitchen and out the window again. A playlist automatically generated by Spotify called "pumpkin spice" is playing. Surprisingly, it fits the mood perfectly. The work is done, the flat is tidy, the fridge is full. It's a good opportunity to get back to writing. I've missed it a bit over the last few weeks and months, but there's just been a lot of great action out there.

If we met on Tinder at the end of October or the beginning of November, it's now the anniversary of the last days and weeks I lived without a woman by my side. At the time, I had only really arrived in my own apartment and had done a lot of reading, thinking and writing. Among other things, I talked about my values and goals in life, and soon I felt attracted to you, or you to me, certainly both.

We've been together for almost 11 months now and I feel better about life than ever before. A lot has changed in all areas of my life, in me. I couldn't be more grateful to you and the universe.

In 10 years' time, all our children will be out of the house and I will be approaching 58. This is the beginning of the last third of my life, if all goes well. But it also means that NOW is such an important time, the most important time.

I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful and courageous. I feel more intensely than ever. I live like never before. And I love like never before. ❤️
