Bonum Cursum

The time of autumn races is approaching, bringing both excitement and a lot of preparation. The calendar is filling up with dates, events, and deadlines, and there seems to be more on my plate every day. Thankfully, my wife is helping me — handling all of this alone would be unbearably boring!

At home, the rhythm of life shifts. The garden needs to be prepared for winter — harvesting the last vegetables, protecting delicate plants, and making sure everything survives the cold months. The house also demands attention: cleaning, organizing, and rotating clothes through every wardrobe like a big fan, making sure everything is ready for the season.

Between autumn and winter, there is a special kind of nervous excitement that I enjoy. It’s that mix of anticipation and preparation, the feeling that something is about to change while everything is still in motion. We always make time to go out and do some sport. That fills me with energy and helps me face all the tasks ahead. Family is, of course, a central priority. Caring for loved ones and thinking about the smaller brothers around us — pets, birds, and wildlife — reminds me that everyone deserves support to survive a good winter.

This season is a gentle (chaotic?) reminder to juggle work, family, and fun — though honestly, my wife does most of it while I like to think I’m helping. With her energy, a dash of humor, some sport to recharge, and careful wardrobe rotations, we somehow survive the autumn whirlwind and slide into winter feeling ready, slightly triumphant, and surprisingly alive.
