It Should Be Called...  "Mentalpause"

As I was writing yesterday morning, all was well, finished my big cup of coffee and before I got out the last sentence... it hit.  My mind became scattered, I felt anxious and I wanted to cry all at the same time!  I was thinking...  "What the !@#@?"  and it bothered me that I couldn't get a handle on it.  In fact I didn't really get a handle on it until after I exercised and engaged in activity last night when I went to a play rehearsal.

Menopause is in full swing this season! I've moved into a "mentalpause" state of mind.  I looked up caffeine and menopause... not a good combination, so good-bye to coffee for now. 

This morning I am sitting here writing you drinking orange juice anticipating the caffeine headache later on, but feeling I am in control of my emotions.

I am trying to sort thru this mystery of mid-life. It is certainly a challenge when all of a sudden you feel you don't have control. 

I am starting to believe that being active both mentally and physically certainly helps.  And so I will move thru this passing stage, taking time to acknowledge it for what it is... a life change

So if you see me, ask if I am in a "happy", "angry" or "confused" state of mind like the woman in the picture above.

Remember the song  "In The Mood"?  Well, I am actualy experincing "In The Mood Swings" part of life... BIG DIFFERENCE but I have to try to find humor in it all.

Enjoy your day!!
