My Menopause Blog

As a menopausal woman, I am pleased to realize that there are other titles that I can claim and hold thanks to my growing maturity; Miss Information is but one.

It would seem that my ego has deflated a few puffs since my period left town. I’m not sure how the two are connected or even if they are. But something has shifted and I’m pleased that Miss Take is a much easier role for me to play.

I love Miss Take. She can ride into a situation of incredible tension and instantly deflate the scene by claiming her part simply because Miss Take knows that it takes at least two to tangle. Once she fesses up - well the ball doth start to unravel. The pointing fingers have nothing to point at went the pointee is already claiming her part of the poop.

Miss Take can melt a man’s heart or stun her kids with these three little words: I am wrong.

Jaws go slack. Glares turn to stares and tension drops faster than the temperature on a cold winters night.

Miss Take is no shrinking violet. In fact it takes balls, balls I say, to go from right to wrong in mid strike. The courage to admit that maybe, possibly, perhaps you got something dead wrong is so very different from the effort it takes to stick to your guns - especially when you know they are not guns at all.
