hmm. I find it so weird that all of a sudden the word menopause is in the main newspapers on a daily basis lately. Or was it there and I didn't notice because it didn't apply to me? Def possible.

As to the reality of menopause and our daily lives. I love it. I love not getting my horrendous, fibroid impacted blood letting every month for a week. I no longer am anemic for the first time in my adulthood! I feel less crazy, too! Love that. I have not gotten fat, yet, but I am new to this, so that might happen. IDK. I kind of love this period (hahah) of life. I know my mother prefers it too. It's weird becoming invisible to younger people, but, I like the ability to sneak around unnoticed...how about you?

I'm a doubter — aging seems more complex than what happens in ovaries. The middle-aged men in my life are aging right along with me even though their hormones aren't shifting as much.

I’m going to have a good think about how I feel about this. Being post menopause now & having had a rollercoaster of a ride it’s good to be able to look at it from a different perspective now.
