Then throw in a few quotes by some famous people:
Things don't have to change the world to be important.
Steve Jobs
If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
Michael Jordan
I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
Thomas Jefferson
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon
The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
Tony Robbins
No where could I find the definition - "something women go through after their childbearing years, that can bring the most uncomfortable symptoms upon oneself." Also known as THE CHANGE, or MENOPAUSE! Now in the grand scheme of things, I really don't have a whole lot to complain about. If you think about all the illnesses and diseases out there. But this is my blog, so I can vent. I have come to accept the fact that even in the -40 winter days, I will not be wearing a sweater. But really, when it's plus 15 (that's our average Calgary summer temperature) could I at least have the luxury of wanting to keep my clothes on. I get out of the shower this morning, and prepare to get ready for the day. I'm a little dripping still, so I dry off, and I dry off, and I dry off....still dripping. It must be the towel. Drop it to the floor (thank goodness I didn't have my glasses on) Take another towel and dry off. Hmmm, maybe it's because my hair is still wet. Give it a little toweling off - nope, still dripping. Bring out the hair blower. At one point, the hairdryer loses power (too hot I guess - the hair dryer, not me) Finally I finish putting my make-up on. 20 minutes later, I'm not sure how much make up is still on. Well I can't wait around and do nothing - I dress (partially) and open the back door (carefully as I'm only half dressed) Thank goodness the golf course people are busy mowing the green) So now I'm running around half dressed or half naked, depending on your perspective (half full, half empty) Will I make it through the day? Only if swimsuit attire is acceptable at both jobs!
Short of making a Dr. appointment (to tell me what - I'm going through something) and getting hormones (which I don't want), I guess I better make some fruit slushies and stick them in the freezer - it's going to be a long summer!!!!!!!!
Off to put my pants on!
Later
Stacey
