I feel more alive than I ever have. My children are grown. Is this part of it or is it hormones?

How funny....i only very recently (within last week) read the coconut oil articles on the web. (100 uses, 80 uses etc.) so i bouht some and ordered some from amazon. (Im a stockpiler.)
Have started trying some of the uses. I tried using it a
If your going to be financially secure enough to venture out and see whats available in the B & B field...take your time and check it out. If you have to jump into a job..just to have one..you will not be happy. Hope you get the time to find wh
I don’t know what it is but feel the same way!! I feel free and happy. ( single too! ) I guess I just don’t worry about things the way I used to. Wonderful isn’t it????>
Thanks for responding. I also have noticed, that it does not bother me now, when others do not see things the way I do. The other night I went out with the singlesimagine group, and danced half the night away. I am aware that I might have looked at times ridiculous, but I was having the dance of my life. Praise God.
I am also feeling very much alive. And I’m not battling raging hormones. It’s a good place to be. I think that place is “at peace with myself”. I love intellectual stimulation (maybe it’s because now I have time to think about things) and I love to laugh (it’s time to laugh about all the things we got through). If I could change anything it would be to be able to do physically the same now that I did in my 30s. But you know, I don’t think ALL women feel this way. I wish they did!!!
i wish I could do the physical things I used to do also. It’s hard to have the desire but the body doesn’t cooperate!!! But…. I am happy. We sound a lot alike. I don’t think most woman feel like this, at least not in my circle.
In my circle of friends, some of us are more at peace and not as driven as others. It’s peculiar how the ones that are feeling more alive are more active. So we tend to spend more time together and have more to talk about. I agree with some of the other posts — this is a good time in our lives. Maybe we’ve slowed down physically but our enjoyment of “little” things has increased 1000 fold.
Im beginning to feel this way! I feel as though I am coming out of some sort of a 10 year crazy period and things are slowly moving back into place. I am sure most of this is hormonal, a hysterectomy 2 years ago helped me tremendously, but I am beginning to feel at peace with my love. I enjoy my job, love walking with my Golden Retriever, taking pictures, simple quiet pleasures… and of course grandchildren!
I am more at peace than ever. Some say they would love to go back to their 20′s or 30′s I say my 50′s are the best!
I would agree with you. I would not want to go back to my 20′s or 30′s. I did enjoy these years somewhat, having 2 boys, working, extra curricular activities but life was always busy. I now enjoy the peace and quiet especially getting time to spend with my 6 grand kiddies!
I ‘M NOT FEELIN IT …TIRED , LACK ENERGY MOTIVATION, I’M DEPRESSED THOUGH ,,ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A PICK MEUP. OR GET UP AND GO?HAVE BACK INJUYR, HEALTHY SUGGESTIONS ?
Like “Victoria Best” above I am also not feeling it. I would appreciate any feedback.
I am 52 and overweight which is by far the problem that I know I can do something about. Why have I lost caring about myself.
I am an educated woman finishing up my dissertation in Adult Education which will complete my PhD. I have been a bedside nurse for 33 years and teach at a University.
I have 5 children, a 24 female nurse, a 23 male construction worker, 22 female nurses aid in the VA, 21 son in college for elementry education and a 18 about the graduate from high school and go to WSU for veterinary medicine.
I am married to the same man for 25 years who lacks ambition, so he still has the same job and the same AS degree we had when we married. He does not believe he should help as far as housework goes at all that is not a mans job. We have nothing in common and do nothing together. He sleeps in the recliner in the livingroom for the past 7 years because the bed hurts his back, so of course there has not been any sex either. Even if I wanted to we couldn’t because he has ED and will not go to the MD about it.
Can anyone give me any kind of encouragement at all. Warm Regards.
Joan, Wow! You have done so much in your lifetime! 5 children and a PHD, I am impressed! I have 2 children, my daughter is working on her dissertation now, and I know the work and time that entails. Congratulations on all the hard work! Once youve finished that its time to give yourself some reward. You cant change your husband, I learned that a long time ago and mine hates to travel, so I go without him. I love to travel and gave it up for along time because he didnt want to go. Now I go! I picked up a digital camera about 5 years ago and have fallen in love with taking pictures. I love hiking, with the camera, just shooting. My point here is find something you love and begin to explore, or just find something you think you might love and explore it! Do something for yourself. Anything, just something. You have spent years and years taking care of other people, its your turn. My husband also does not help around the house,. I force myself to let it go now and then and enjoy myself instead.
Good luck, you are amazing! Start there !
you sound like an incredible woman!! You are always taking care of others, maybe it’s time to take some time for you. Good advice to get away with friends. It must hurt to not have your spouse as involved as you’d like. Please do something ( other than studies ) to lift you up. Good luck.
You know I find that with negitive energy around me,or lack of good energy,…that we TEND TO FEEL unappreciated of our efforts to others, depletes our efforts and motivation for onself. we spend our time supporting those needing us and we dont fill ourselves back up again , by not feeling or being nurtured, Both need to care enough about the relationships, ourself , feel appreciated, valued, that we make a difference here,to take better care of self.menopause can affect this as manopause. A GOOD naturalpath helps with the biologigal changes or boost our systems , and stress and lack of sleep is proven to cause wheight gain…. something to think about.I HOPE THINGS GET BETTER FOR YOU BOTH.
Iknow I am dealing with depression and is very difficult to deal with it sometimes as I lack motivation and my bad back drains me of energy, as Iam in pain all the time and treatments don’t help much.my wheight is up and i cant do most excercises to loose wheight,i smend more time healing after and i loose interest.
ps…WOW! YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN A BUSY WOMAN! how do you manage it all.you should be proud of you self for all you’ve accomplished…kids are ok you are a very giving person and patient,maybe you need a vacation or some trips to the spa,for self indulgence… aroma therepy massage .pedicure ,manicire a facial, a new hair style, get the whole pkg …you deserve it!!

You’ve realized it and seem to be embracing the feeling! Go with it and enjoy it! I just guess it’s part of it.Although I do know a couple of women who can’t seem to let go of their 30 something children, That’s a true shame. Nothing has been gained or shared. I have gained so much learning about me that now I can when asked share some chosen pearls. You know the protocol, they ask, your chosen to answer!!! Enjoy !!! Life is meant to be lived and we enjoy working,playing,traveling, discovering little life moments that in our younger years we over looked. I am 63 and loving it!!!
