Wow. Yes yes yes. So lovely to read every ones thoughts & experiences about this menopause thing. I am definately going through a rebirthing phaze at the moment. I eat differently, use my free time differenly, move differently, dress differently & relate to people differently. All with more meaning & more passion.
I feel younger than I have in years. My partner of 25 years is sometimes finding it hard to keep up with me. But he loves my new energy for life & sex.
I don't know if I'm having a midlife crisis or if it is the changes in my hormones (probably both). But what ever it is, it is good. I'm really wanting to embrace my sexuality in a way I never have before.
Last night as I sat with my father-in-law over a brandy, we were looking at the wedding photos of him & his wife of almost 50yrs, who passed away less than a year ago. They were both so very young & the years since that day had suddenly gone far too quickly for him. At that moment I realized we must live all of our lives fully and in ways most meaningfully for each of us.
This moment deeply reinforced to me how much I want to embrace this period of my life, & with as much intrigue as I embraced my puberty & young womanhood. Yes life is good in the 50!!!
