Sometimes I forget to be grateful

[susandennis]

Somehow randomly tonight, in reading my LJ friends pages, I came across entries mentioning dealing with menstrual blood. After years and years of dealing with birth control worries and monthly annoyances, it's been more than a few years since I've even had to think about either one. It's nice to remember how good I have it now. Being old rocks.

Thanks for the reminder! I also tend to forget it, but it's really the very best thing about getting/being old!

Hi Anonymous, this was me of course. Sorry.

I haven't had my period since early January-- I am SO hopeful! :D

Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo' for a good long while now. Getting older does have its good points...

I'll be happy when I reach that point. I mean really, I'm not having kids and I don't have to worry about "suprises" so why do I have to bleed?

Look at you logging in from Facebook! I did not even know you could do that. Excellent.

And yes, menopause, at least for me, an excellent deal.

I had a hysterectomy when I was 33. I was devastated then, but only occasionally mourn the loss of being able to have a kid with my current husband. Most of the time I'm glad I got a jumpstart on that part of being "old".

Menopause is many years overdue in gracing our household. I believe it's actually an urban legend.
