LOVE this! And totally hear your voice in it. So many great lines, but this might be my fave: "I collected acquaintances and attended every party and made sure I was just mean enough to maintain the quotient of cool." ❤️
When I was 40, after leaving a long-term relationship, I started dating an Irish bartender, a Jewish pipe-organ builder and a 23-year-old unemployed layabout, all at just about the same time. My life was total chaos, both at work and socially.
When I met my now-husband, as the craziness was winding down, I noticed that he was my only acquaintance who actually owned real furniture, worked two jobs and lived a quiet organized life that I could almost envy.
Reader: I married him. We celebrated our 30th anniversary yesterday.

Thank you friend! This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you!
❤️❤️❤️
I love this! And to me, after I turned 40, a boring day is a good day! One where there's no drama, just room to move with ease or stay put with peace.
You’re a gift to the world and the people in your orbit. Thank you for sharing this tribute to love and a “boring,” beautiful life.
love you friend xoxoxxo
Loved this so much 🩷
I understand this completely.
