Menopause washrooms and Angels

I am old menopausal often grumpy and entering what could be called the downhill slope or midlife. The ambitions dreams and desires of the 20 year old a faded memory of things lost to time. As I walk through graying hair sagging arms and ongoing medical issues I ponder the road ahead and whether there will be washrooms because such things are very much a necessity of life these days.
My Higher Power I am sure cares more about humility than vanity and the whisper of the Angels carries with it a message of service rather than purpose. As age creeps upon me words like grace and dignity, gratitude and giving come with it. I will mourn childhood dreams will cry for lost hopes and faded memories but I will not give up the rest of my life to self pity.
Menopause is not a stop sign in the middle of life's highway it is simply a pit stop to refuel and refocus. The biggest misconception of life is greatness is one thing, I have built a career a business raised a family won all the awards there is nothing left. Greatness is many things it is a never ending journey of possibilities that continues until the last breathe moment. There are so many lives waiting to be touched by the wisdom, grace and acceptance that comes with age.
While age at times may restrict us in doing it will never hinder us giving.
