"...since Miss Air Conditioning dumped it. They loved each other unconditionally." WOW! lol

You should compile short stories titled, "Tales from Brittany." And as someone who recently turned 54, let me confirm for you that you're still young. Yes, you are. Accept it. Own it. And then, try not to hurt your back in celebration. : )

Um, and would these stories be published here in Scribe? Would this be the first one? That's a good idea, I'll make a note of it! But I find myself so uninteresting and boring... 😆 54 years old! That's really young! Haha. When were you born? Happy belated birthday then! 🥳 I'm sure your garden full of all those little creatures will keep you in shape!

Same doubts; same questions over here. It feels like everything gets worse with time —our health, our parents growing old. Yet, I also know I must remember that flowers are made to wither, and that they surrender to their end with such beauty. You always give us so much to reflect on. Thank you.

I'm touched that these words resonate with you, Diana. Even though, on the one hand, I'd prefer you not to ask yourself the same questions I do, because they're so heavy. But I really like what you say about flowers... Thank you again for your kind words, which touch my heart. I hope you have a lovely weekend. 💚

I am sorry that you are blanketed by such sadness. I hope your time by the sea frees you from this frustrating stasis, my friend. 🌸

Thank you so much for your kind words, Luna. It means a lot to me. 💚 The sea air does me a world of good, even though deep down I know that big changes are coming soon, hopefully with positive results in my search for a job and a place to live. I'll be sure to share the news here. Thank you again for your support, and I hope you are doing well. 😊

That's true, and it's wonderful. That's why I hope to be able to live near her soon.

In all your misery you still managed a good pun: "...since Miss Air Conditioning dumped it. They loved each other unconditionally." 😆

Hope your strength is rising, my friend.
