54 is still very young. You have plenty of time ahead of you to meet someone new. I think Christmas gets tougher each year, as I get older. There seems more and more pressure to be happy and build this media perfect vision of Christmas, which for many of us is unachievable.

I’m 60 in a few weeks time, and I don’t know where the time has gone. I’m trying to look on the positive side, and embracing simply being alive, but it does scare me. You’re not alone, in that sense.
Thanks for this!
