God Ritchie. I'm twice your age and am not at this stage of contentment! Not often anyway. Well done you. May it last for you. You deserve happiness, love and inner peace.

Beautiful post Ritchie. This will give hope to many people feeling stuck in a dark place. You deserve to enjoy life, finally. And yes, growing up takes a long time, for most of us. I’m 64 and only really grew up over the last twenty years. Or maybe I’m still growing up. It’s good to keep growing.

What a nice thing to read here in the U.S. on our Thanksgiving. You write very well. I can see your tidy house and kittens in my minds eye.

Beautiful, Ritchie, in substance and literary expression. I feel the same way about order in our homes as a remedy for internal chaos. Safe passage on your life’s journey. May it be contain many safe harbours.

I admire your courage and resolve. May you have that, always. 🥰🌹
