A Call to Arms…

August 11, 2011 By Gail 21 Comments

It was a gorgeous summer day…not too hot…not too humid. I put on a sleeveless tee shirt, jeans, and sandals and headed out to run my errands. I try to keep in decent shape by working out on weight machines three times a week, gardening, and whatnot. I also try to cut myself some slack for aging like a ripe banana. After all, it is how nature works. We mature in interesting ways—spots, color changes, flesh shifts, hair loss, hair growth—the list goes on. However, and this is a big HOWEVER, as I was driving home I glanced in the side view mirror to check if I could change lanes and caught a glimpse of my upper arm. It was waving like a flag in the open car window. WHAT??? WHAT??? When did that happen? I’ve turned into all my aunts and grandmothers overnight.
So, I now either have to increase the reps or the weight on my fitness machines. Dang it! This floppy stuff has to go or I need to invest in cover ups. I hear people who put those team flags on their cars lose gas mileage. With the way my upper arm was jiggling, OPEC is going to be making a lot of money off of me. Sigh.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

    I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours lately, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet will likely be a lot more useful than ever before. “Dignity is not negotiable.

    I want to express appreciation to you just for rescuing me from this setting. After exploring throughout the the web and seeing ideas that were not helpful, I figured my entire life was done. Living without the answers to the issues you have solved all through this review is a serious case, as well as ones which could have in a negative way damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your site. Your training and kindness in controlling all the things was useful. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I’m able to at this time look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your high quality and amazing guide. I won’t think twice to propose your blog to anybody who should have guidance on this area.
