When I was pregnant with my son this older lady about my mom's age told me having kids when you are older is great except for one thing that you won't have the energy as they get older and you go through " the change" as she put it. That was something I never thought of. I was just happy to be having a baby.
I began to think about it that day. Then I shook my head and said no that won't be me. Little did I know a few years later probably around the time my son turned five. My energy was leaving me faster than I could count to ten. I said to myself out loud this was ridiculous. So, then just as I was attempting to get myself in better shape or some shape period menopause crept up or peri menopause as they called it snuck up out of nowhere. My energy level quickly went to none. But I was determined not to let this get the better of me. I changed my diet, got more excerise and was on the road back to me.
Today, I still have a lot of work to do and occasionally I think about that conversation many moons ago with that wise woman.
