You need to be nice to yourself. Lay in bed. Eat some ice cream. Watch some tv.

Think back to these days when you finally achieve menopause. I’m telling’ ya, menopause is a blessing. Fighting my way through peri-menopause (I hope I have my terms right) to the real thing was tough, but never having to deal with a period again? Sweet. And there have been other benefits, like an even-ing out of my moods and being less hypoglycemic. The whole thing gave me a huge respect for the power of hormones.

Of course, here are a few downsides. Some of those hormones help keep the body young and healthy. It’s the beginning of serious wrinkles and skin aging, for instance. So you wouldn’t want to rush things. But if only we knew exactly when we were finally there, it’d be worth having a party to celebrate.

So, have a hug, and yes, do be kind to yourself.

Go to bed then.

Oh, and me too. Bloody periods.
