Menopause, a New Beginning
By mati. Filed in Life |Tags: menopause
When I hit menopause, I must admit, there was definitely panick as well. Going from fertile woman to old woman – who wants to do that? But then I realized that it isn’t me who is getting old, it is just my body, my outer packaging that is getting a bit worn, that’s all. Inside, I am just as young as I have always been, so who cares?
A friend of mine, who hit menopause a few years ago, told me that menopause isn’t just the beginning of the end – it is a new stage in your life! A new beginning! We are done giving life to our children, and now, it is the time to start giving life to ourselves, in other words, time for spiritual growth. Time to meditate, time to figure out why we are here, time to follow our dreams and do what we have always wanted.
Many years ago, when I was in my mid twenties, I had a dear friend who made a huge impression on me. She was in her seventies at the time, and she was so beautiful and alive and young inside that it was almost impossible to tell her age. Her life force was so strong that it gave her an almost timeless quality. One day, her boyfriend was coming to visit, and she was as excited as a young girl! How could anyone even consider her old? The truth is, she wasn’t! She was “young at heart,” she was a beautiful soul, and no wrinkles could hide the truth! She was beautiful because she had inner beauty which radiated from her being.
She liked to think of herself as my “fairy Godmother,” and in many ways, she was. She was one of those rare women that it was an honor to know, and whom I’ll never forget.
So, if I can stay as young inside as my 70 year old girl friend did, no matter how old I get in years, I’ll be happy. Who cares about a few lines here and there? Life is not just skin deep…
