Yesterday was my fifty-seventh birthday, and I was excited to celebrate, but my husband, Mike, had other plans. Recently, he’s been mocking my age every chance he gets. During the party, he humiliated me in front of our friends, saying, “You’re too old to dance, Emma. You might break a hip.”
My best friend, Karen, couldn’t take it anymore and revealed a sh.ocking secret: “Mike here can’t perform without popping a little blue pill. And you know how I found out? Because he cheated on Emma with my friend, Linda.”
The room fell silent, and I confronted Mike. “I’m done with your cruelty and your lies. You want to make me feel old and undesirable? Well, here’s a newsflash: I feel more vibrant and alive without you dragging me down.”
I left the party with Karen, feeling liberated and strong. We went to my favorite restaurant, where Karen toasted, “To new beginnings and to never letting anyone dull our sparkle!”
As we celebrated, I noticed a charming man, Alex. Maybe this was the start of something new. From that day forward, I embraced my life and age with renewed vigor, ready to face whatever came next with resilience and strength.
Remembering the Good Old School Days

With these vintage school supplies, take a trip back in time.
You probably remember your school days with nostalgia if you are between 45 and 65 years old. The classrooms were very different then than they are now. Let’s go back in time and remember certain things that are no longer taught in schools.
The best companion of a musician is an antique chalkboard.
If you loved music, you most likely remember seeing an old chalk holder at the school. Teachers loved these little tools when they had to create music on the whiteboard. Chalk holders are hard to obtain by these days. What other antiquated instruments were utilized in classrooms back then, do you think?
