My Menopause Blog: Energy

It's Saturday night. I have a party to go to. A friend is turning 40.

The gig will be well attended by all manner of artist and musician. My circle is a excessively creative, alternative crowd. In fact I spent the day roaming through studios...this being Guelph's Arts Festival and Studio Tour weekend. Beautiful work, stimulating conversations coupled with a dramatic, southern Ontario day of fall weather, chance meetings with friends and even an anonymous gift of pottery, left on my front porch.

A day to embrace. Celebrate. Enjoy.

So why is it that you could peel the melancholy off me in thick, curls and let them drop, weighted to the ground?

My energy.

Gone?

Pause.
