C is for Children • #atozchallenge

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife
I am fifty years old and my ovaries are on their last legs. They manage to muster up enough effort to squeeze out a tired old egg every couple of months or so, but to be honest, we’ve reached the bottom of the barrel. Very soon there will be none left.

B is for Beauty • #atozchallenge

B is for Beauty • head-heart-health.com

I would also tell her she is clever, important and capable of great love, but I would still insist she is beautiful. Some feminists believe that claiming the label of beautiful means women are striving to meet some predetermined… Read More

the self portrait • a demonstration of self acceptance

What if taking a self-portrait helped me accept who I am and what I look like?

Growing Old Disgracefully • Not Your Grandma’s Grey

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife
silver sisters

Rather than believing that my best days are in the past, I am looking forward to middle age. I don’t subscribe to the notion that joy belongs only to the young — in fact, I’m beginning to think that youth is highly overrated.

Today I learned something new about relationships. I learned that as we age, sometimes our bodies don’t do what we would like them to any more. Illness, both mental and physical, along with the medications we have to take to stay healthy, can interfere with both our sex drive and our ability to perform.
