The celebrations for my 50th birthday have officially started and it was very pleasant to start my 50th year in the company of a good friend. Life is beautiful… so I’ve chosen PLEASURE as my favourite word this year, since this is how I intend to live this stage in my life.
True to my promise to myself, I took a real break last weekend. Part of my team was in Kiev, also playing tourist. It always does a lot of good to take a little pause and forget about everything for a while… and not trip on camera cables or wear a hidden microphone for the boom operator!
I had a nice family get-together via Skype for my young son, who was celebrating his birthday. I felt heavy-hearted for not being physically present, but I was very much so in spirit.
I’ve started to feel a true adrenalin rush. The countdown began on Sunday and lift-off is now in 30 days. I’m feeling it, I’m living it and I’m so excited!
Finally, I’d like to apologize for the delay in sending you my mission log this week, but the press conference kept me very busy. See you next week then!
