Dear Future Me
I am writing to you from the year 2023, it is the end of January. At the moment we have snow and yesterday we went on a winter hike with the family in Grüna. Sidney and Lisa's two little boys are now 4 years and 5 months old. Alicia was also there, who has just turned 24 and recently moved into her new flat at the Schlossteich. Mum, who is 87 years old, held out very well and managed the distance very well. At the "Baude am Totenstein" we had delicious mulled wine and smoked sausage or Vienna sausages.
I would like to remember the day so much, because it did so much good in this crazy time. We had fun together and could enjoy nature and our time together and leave the rest of the world out of it.
What's going on in the world right now doesn't feel good at all. War in Ukraine, a government that I don't think is making good choices with its decisions and provoking an expansion of war in Europe, I didn't want to think about any of that yesterday.
There is an energy crisis, electricity, gas and petrol are many times more expensive than last year and everyone is afraid of where this will lead. There is talk of the possibility of a black out of electricity and a possible shutdown of gas supply.
I wish that the two boys have a good future, but I am afraid that it is not so. Still, I don't want to lose hope that everything will work out somehow.
