Transitions, transitions, transitions
It sure seems as though life keeps changing and I am experiencing transition after transition. Mid-life brings some good and some difficult challenges; there are family changes, physical changes, and career changes all hitting around the same time. Yikes!! Peri- menopause has not been a cake walk. It feels like I have more hormonal changes than when I was in puberty! Most days I have been able to stay emotionally balanced, but I credit that to daily exercise and meditation. I can't handle heat like I used to and sleep can be difficult with the occasional hot flash. My body doesn't heal as fast; I recently fell off my bike and it took weeks for the aching to stop. I am not having career changes right now, but I see people around me who are looking for work that is more meaningful to them. I do find meaning in my work and I feel blessed for that. We don't want to work as many hours, we want more balance and more control over our time- all very positive thin
