I miss the monthly crime scene in my pants. Actually not the crime scene so much as what it represented: youth, vitality, and fertility. All my eggs either hatched or were disposed of by Nature. I need to embrace the gifts of menopause: no fear of unwanted pregnancy, no PMS, no severe mood fluctuations, no weird food cravings, and no painful cramps. I need to embrace wisdom gained from participating fully in life. But I fight it every step of the way. I apply sunscreen everyday, apply Retin-A to my face several times a week, do yoga, cardio, lift weights, and take college classes for the pure joy of learning and for staving off Alzheimer's disease. Hormone-Replacement-Therapy is my drug of choice. I am not ready to surrender to old age and wait for death to transport me to heaven. Heaven is here on Earth.
