Discovering the Joys of Post -

  • Posted on April 8, 2009

Post what?…post-menopause! A mid-life crisis? You’ve got to be kidding! I must have used up all of my crisis points before my mid-life. I’m actually excited to have finally arrived at the post-menopause stage! It’s a strange feeling to experience my turn to be in-the-know (confident) for a change. That doesn’t mean I’ve become arrogant. It means I no longer allow others to mess with my mind. Maybe my mind has its messy days, after all I’m not accustomed to having so much freedom.

Oh sure, post-menopausal women may reexamine their values, redefine what they really appreciate, and realize that life’s journey is what’s important… but what if you’re one who has been doing those things for a long time already? In my case, it’s caused my complexities to bump up another notch. I can’t image what its effects will end up like here!

The best way I can describe the newly arriving changes post-menopause is bringing is that it’s like putting the seasons of the year, with all its fluctuating weather conditions, into turbo-charged motion!

Like my car?¹ V a a . . .  R R R R R R R o o o 0 0 0 0 0 m  m M M M !  ↓

Yup… it’s in my dreams! That way no one can scratch it and it can’t ever get dirty!

¹I no longer own a motorized vehicle of any sort these days, but I have had the pleasure of driving one of these alluring road-hugging machines — an exhilarating 140+ mph around some sleek curves decades ago. It gives me goose-bumps just thinking about it!
