Menopausal?

“Menopause is a term used to describe the permanent cessation of the primary functions of the human ovaries: the ripening and release of ova and the release of hormones that cause both the creation of the uterine lining and the subsequent shedding of the uterine lining (a.k.a. the menses or the period). Menopause typically (but not always) occurs in women in midlife, during their late 40s or early 50s, and signals the end of the fertile phase of a woman's life.”

Today I was reading “Top 5 Reasons Menopause is Misunderstood and What People Think It Is” and the one I truly felt so me was:


“#2. Are you more outspoken, or more opinionated than you used to be? Do you have a more devil may care attitude. Do you lose interest quickly if your kids, friends, spouse or partner don’t succinctly come to the point about what they are talking about?  Are you suffering from some attention deficit disorder?           No it is menopause.”


Made me laugh so much because that is how I have been more lately then ever I tell my kids hey I am more than 50 anything can come out of my mouth! So it is a sign that I am in menopause! Ha! So now I know that or either I am crying for my kids or I don’t care about how they want to throw away their lives! Either I love my hubby or I just want to get rid of him! It is normal in this stage of life! So I am normal!!


It’s so important to know and understand our body and all the phases we go through so we can be better women and live a healthier and full life! God made us special and has even greater plans for each and one of us but it is up to us how we are going to live and take care of your body that is temple of the Holy Spirit! Know yourself and be alert of the signs that your body is giving you!


These are some symptoms you may experience, learn to protect yourself and take charge of your life! God is in control! You do the possible! God doses the impossible!: Hot flashes, mood swings, sexual problems, headaches, aching joints, and dry skin.


I now am trying to have fun with my “meno” moments, I know the Lord made me special and has bigger plans for me, so having the ball of my life!!

Always remember you are special and God has plans for your good!

Be blessed! Receive all my love! Enjoy and delight yourself in the Lord!!
