For Women Only

[bfez1]

This is for GIRLS ONLY!!! No one else will understand......
I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a
great
time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great
menopause will be....

Puhleeeeeeeze!
I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you.
Whether you are pushing 30, 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your
luck) you'll probably relate.

Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives
us
plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.

In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wingspans. We are
no
longer women in sleeveless shirts; we are flying squirrels in drag.

Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can
see
your rear without turning around.

Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the
only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top
and
scream, "Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too."

Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're
sitting
on our biggest ones.

Mid-life is when you look at your-know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenager
and
think: "For this I have stretch marks?"

In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can
retain
is water.

Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally
--more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin.

Mid-life means that you become more reflective... You start pondering
the
big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice
cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important.

We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our loved
ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge
that
you have now for the body you had way back when?

Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love
we've
acquired.

That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts."
