Foods I won't eat and other thoughts

I have no desire to eat any desert that has more than two main "themes".  For example, chocolate chip cookies without nuts are the best, with nuts are tolerable, you go and start putting peanut butter and coconut in them and now they are down right disgusting!   Also, I have no desire to drink a smoothie.  Come on, milk, ice, fruit and ""other stuff"", just not a good combination.  Now give me a slushy and that makes sense.  Ingredients are ice and fruit - back to the number 2. 

I'm bearing down on 50 fast and I don't think I have gone through menopause.  If I have, it has been very, very kind to me.  I have friends who experience terrible hot flashes.  That's just not my cup of tea.  I think I will take a pass.

Speaking of 50, I have found that my body has changed (did I say I haven't gone through menopause?).  I weigh the same as I did ten years ago, but over the last several years I have taken on a more Weeble appearance - you said it in your head, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down".

I no longer worry about who I am. I don't worry about where I am going.  I am just being, and that takes way less energy.  This satisfaction only comes with time, and I've done mine.

I look forward to the next 20+ years of my life.  What's not to like. I get to see my children pair with  their life mates.  I get to see my grandchildren being born and grow.  I get to spend my time enjoying the company of those people I love.  And I eventually will be retiring from the working world.  And I should have few health issues.  What more could I ask? 

And I have a confession to make.  While all the Christmas decorations are packed away and ready to go to storage, there is a bare naked tree standing in my living room.  I'm  thinking I will have to decorate it for Valentine's Day with pink and red hearts.   :)
