What an interesting and transformational experience it must have been with the monks in Devon! And how equally interesting the way we ebb and flow with the waves of life--in so many facets.<br /><br />I already find it hard to endure tense dramas or driving, but cannot get enough sleep or stout black tea. :) I eagerly await my own transitions. Ah, life, what a fabulous, ever-changing adventure.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-59132397502605824192018-11-15T14:32:31.943+00:002018-11-15T14:32:31.943+00:00I think your appetite is likely to decrease, Suzan...I think your appetite is likely to decrease, Suzan. These things are hormonally led, I believe. My grandmother, who at 5'7" weighed about 7 stones most of her adult life, went up to around 13 stones at the menopause. Then as she began to grow old, the weight gradually diminished. At some point, she remarked to my mother (who had been horrified by her weight gain) "I won't put on any weight now."<br /><br />I'm noticing something of the same trajectory. I was slim as a girl and young woman, put on stones in my childbearing and breastfeeding years, got distinctly stout around menopause — and now it's just slowly wandering off.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-42862922079687281102018-11-15T11:03:27.890+00:002018-11-15T11:03:27.890+00:00How I wish my appetite would decrease.
