Jane, menopause is such a journey, both good and bad. I sometimes feel my body is betraying me, but then I acknowledge it’s just doing what it’s built to do. Parts wear out, just like a car, although our value doesn’t drop the minute we leave the lot! Our value, like our wisdom, increases.

Exactly. I still struggle with my value now, I know I shouldn’t but I still feel that way. I want to feel like I'm deserving of the space I take up even though society is lagging on their value with aging. But who are they though? Who is society?

Beautiful gardens!! I'm in menopause too, just turned 55 and I feel like my body is self destruction, first knees, now tendonitis in shoulders. I'm still fighting but my body has other plans some days
