Positive side of Menopause?

I struggled on what my first post should be about...

So here it is the "Positive side of Menopause.. "

Not having a period is probably the most positive, its been 2 years for me, and I love not having that "Oh" moment, then running to the washroom, or having to change the sheets after the period got a little exuberant.  hehehe

Sweating can be very useful, who needs to workout, just sit down, have a cup of coffee, and if you really want a good soak, just put on a Turtleneck!  Yikes..

The use of your deck increases in the winter, after vacuuming, or half way through the dishes, you can always pull out a kitchen chair and sit on the deck, and feel the -10 degree wind hit your wet face.

You can always blame the outbursts, the tears, and your larger stomach on the great imposing monster called "menopause".

Life for your family is never boring, because they do not know how you are going to react to different situations.  I have tried to blame the sagging of the perky breasts on Menopause, but most do not believe that.

Finally Ladies, a wise Preacher by the name of James Paton shared a bible verse with our congregation that he has in the kitchen when he does the dishes. (he hates doing dishes)  So remember this verse when your panting, wringing wet, or just plain damp.

"Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  Col 3:17
