I love you knees that crackle, I love you muscles that ache after Doing Things, I love you feet that carry me places and that I have to stretch out and readjust after a long walk ...I love you confidence I never had in my twenties, I love you peace of mind I didn't have till my thirties, I love you knowledge I don't even realize that I have till I'm talking to someone and can share it... I love you menopause, and the cessation of the brain weasels and mood swings, gods I'm so glad of that part!
Aging doesn't always suck. It can be a joyful change (though there's going to forever be adjusting my expectations)
We should all be so lucky as to age well, in beloved community, fighting for and feeding each other.
WDIWT?
Cute and comfortable.
This is from Sept. 16 and I had been sick and stayed home the 10 days preceding. I still felt kind of bad but just felt like I had to go back to work, so I'm faking it here. I definitely went back too early because I then felt lousy the whole rest of the month.
On a different note I'm embracing the hips I've grown post-menopause.

While this phase brings about hormonal changes and potential health challenges, it also presents an opportunity to prioritise self-care and overall well-being. With the right strategies, women can…

Activities and exercises for osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Regular exercise can help to maintain and improve bone density, strength, and balance, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Here are some activities and exercises that can be beneficial for people with osteoporosis:
Weight-bearing exercises: These are exercises that involve supporting your own body weight, such as walking, jogging, dancing, stair climbing, and tennis. These exercises help to stimulate bone growth and improve bone density.
Resistance exercises: These exercises involve using weights, resistance bands, or body weight to strengthen muscles and bones. Examples include lifting weights, doing squats, and doing push-ups. These exercises help to build and maintain muscle mass, which can help to protect bones from fractures.
Balance and stability exercises: These exercises help to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, which is especially important for people with osteoporosis. Examples include standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, and doing yoga or tai chi.
Low-impact exercises: These exercises are gentler on the joints and bones and can be a good option for people with osteoporosis who may be at higher risk of fractures. Examples include swimming, cycling, using an elliptical machine, and doing low-impact aerobics.
It's important to work with a healthcare professional or qualified exercise specialist to develop a safe and effective exercise plan that is tailored to your individual needs and abilities. They can help you choose exercises that are appropriate for your level of fitness and bone health, and provide guidance on how to perform exercises safely and effectively

Women who are suffering from peri-menopause and menopause are most likely to experience hormonal imbalance because their estrogen levels decrease. Natural bio-identical hormone creams and menopause herbal supplements are some of the most trusted solutions when it comes to balancing the hormones. In this Whole Family Products, read how Estriol Oil is the best-known supplement for menopause and post-menopause.
I’m a cliche. How cliche.
If you’ve read my previous two posts, (I see you, Tumblr staff. Thanks for following me.) you know I’m pretty pissed at God these days. God/the Universe/my Higher Power/whatever. I’ve tried playing nice. That hasn’t gotten me anywhere, so I’m taking off the gloves and duking it out with life.
I am a 56-year old, post-menopausal women. I’m short and round and complicated. Here is a short list of things that are currently pissing me off:
I’m short and round. I used to be short and fit but my family genes kicked my ass during menopause. I spent my forties trying to outrun my genes. My mother’s side of the family is tall and thin with great hair. My dad’s family is short and round with bags under their eyes. At least I have great hair.
I have finally found my voice at 56. I spent my life suppressing myself in order to fit into whatever group I was with at the moment. I am sassy, opinionated, liberal, and don’t give a fuck about what most think of me. I’d like to say I don’t give a fuck about what anyone thinks, but that’d be a lie.
I don’t know how to feel love from another person. This makes me very sad. I know how it feels to love someone, to give love, but I don’t know what it feels like to accept it. There is a firewall that I can’t find the password to remove it. I have the best husband and family and many people who love me. But I can’t seem to feel that emotion. Yeah. It pisses me off.
It pissed me off that I’m on the short end of my life journey. I seriously doubt I’ll live another 56 years. My body won’t do what it once it without A LOT of professional intervention. After doing a thorough cleaning of the house yesterday, my hips and back are very sore. This is common for the short-end of the journey. I don’t like it one bit. My brain isn’t as pliable as it once was either. I fish in the word aquarium, hoping to snag just the right one, but often end up with a word that doesn’t excite me. I have to either use it and be disappointed or through it back and fish some more.
Finally, I wish life was more fair. It pisses me off that being a good person (for the most part) isn’t its own reward. My husband and I are in a pretty deep financial pit these days. He is a hard worker. I am a hard worker when I have work. Back in the day, it would be surprising to not get a job after an interview. Now, I’m surprised to even get an interview. I had three interviews last week with a company that seems to be run by 20- and 30-somethings. I was easily 20 years older than those who interviewed me. After round three of what promised to be six interviews, I have dropped off their radar. No email. No communication. Radio silence.
Being a 56-year old woman is difficult. I’m no longer young but I’m not really “old” either. I no longer have access to the Brass Ring when I finally have the life insight to make a difference. There is so much I want to share with the world but have no outlet other than Tumblr.
I’ve done a shit-ton of reading on the law of attraction, finding one’s self, letting all the unimportant stuff go and be your true self. My true self doesn’t pay the bills and paying bills has been my central focus since graduating from law school I have been behind the proverbial eight ball since 2014. That’s a long time to worry, especially when you’re on the short end of the journey and getting closer to the end with every tick of the clock.
Make a vision board. Visualize where you want to be. Put out there what you want back. It’s all bull shit. I put it out there all the time. I keep getting smacked in the face like Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck. “Snap out of it!!”
For now, I’ll keep doing interviews when I’m invited. I’ll keep applying for jobs that seem interesting even though I don’t want to do any of them. I’ll continue to attempt assimilation in a world that pushes back if you aren’t young, fit, vibrant, and happy.
I’ve become a cliche and that pisses me off the most.
