Do you remember The Sound Of Music?
Too young?
Well don't stop reading because what follows is the sense of humour you'll need one
day as you age, and don’t think it will never happen to you -
Julie Andrews, the lovely singer and actress has just commemorated her 69th Birthday, and to prove she still has what it takes, gave a special appearance in Manhattan, where she performed an updated version of the legendary, "My Favourite Things"
I'm sure you know the tune, and if you’re too young, just ask your parents, or look it up on You Tube or somewhere.
Then, sing along with the new words, which are great and unfortunately, so true!
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental
fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false
teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of
my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, when the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with
onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my
favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and
hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember
our favorite things.
When the joints ache, when the hips break,
When the eyes grow
dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Isn’t that great?
Well, it’s inspired me to add a few pages about just some of the problems the menopause and natural aging might just bring.
Don’t you just love getting older?
The menopause is a completely natural process, when a woman loses the ability to be able to bear children.
It’s the time for “change”.
For some, that’s a relief, but for others it’s like a bereavement, and it creates a lot of emotional and physical problems.
Whatever your views on the subject, you’re likely to suffer from some or all of the
following:-
- Irregular periods
- Hot flashes/Night sweats
- Bloating
- Weight gain
- Vaginal dryness
- Urinary problems
- Mood swings/Irritation
- Depression
- Lack of concentration
- Memory loss
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Change in hair/skin
- Loss of libido
It’s no wonder we got depressed, but don’t despair -
