Well although I don't think of myself as going through
the 'change' of life............I am in the
mid-forty range.
I thought I had gone through this 'stage' 4 years
ago, turns out I had only started.
Yep the Doc told me I would be
having these 'tropicl moments',
and down right CRANKY
days...weeks...but months/years?
Really?
Well, someone out there was thinking of me,
they sent this via email. (Even I had notice
I have been more of a 'grump'
than usual but...)
I don't generally

I don't generally
'follow the forward' directions,
I wonder ...
I had to share, Enjoy.

I can almost feel myself losing weight . . .. By forwarding this to you! You'll understand at the end. I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Dr. Oz had a whole show on how great menopause will be . . .. Puhleeeeeeeze! I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck), you'll probably relate.Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wing spans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag. Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around..
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.
Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're sitting on our biggest ones.
Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, cell phone carrying teenager and think, 'For this I have stretch marks?'
In mid-life
your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water. Mid-life
means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally--more red and
blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin .
Mid-life means that you become more reflective. You start pondering the 'big' questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now, for the body you had way back when? Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

Send this to all the women you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds.
If you delete this message, you will gain 10 pounds immediately. (That's why I had to pass this on--I didn't want to risk deleting this..)
Smooches!
Life is short, Break
the rules,
Forgive quickly, Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably... Never regret anything that made you smile!

Oh I love this!! It's one of the best things I've read in a long time.
I started menopause early, 30's.
I had a complete hysterectomy in my 40's. It was horrible. Went through menopause instantly. The hot flashes were the worst but I didn't take any hormone supplements. I did however try Estroven (all natural)from Wal-Mart. It helped me tremendously!
That was over ten years ago and I still get a hot flash every night at 8:00p.m. You could set your watch with it!!!
Great post my friend.
Love Di ♥
I love it!!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and I think probably because it's so true and I could see myself!
Hope you have a terrific weekend, hot sweats and all.....lol!
Hugs,
