I’m 54 and I have a boyfriend… still feel like I’m saying “Hello, my name is janeisnotme and I’m an alcoholic”. Whaaat?! It’s a boyfriend! A partner. First partner man in my life since 2000 when my ex dumped me. Yep, I’m that person. He did me a favor and he was relatively kind about it. Life is good, especially with music. And guess how this comes around in a circle… because boyfriend gave me his fantastic little Bose speaker and that thing is brilliant! And the music coming out of it is brilliant. And that brilliance buoys my time (when I remember music is my friend and turn it on). Sometimes the silence gets kind of stuck and I forget to put on music. Sigh.
