What do you know.......

I used to think I knew what it was that made me happy, sad, angry and what could bring be back to a place of peace. Lately, as I realize this hormone thing is not my imagination, it seems that I have a foreigner in my body. I am not an example of a serious case in which I get depressed or spin out of control with super highs or super lows. 
However, the small ways in which this life CHANGE has affected me is wide and far reaching. It never ceases to amaze me. As the weather gets cooler I mentally get ready to wear the coats, leggings, wool sweaters of my past that I loved. I layered and layered and looked my best in winter clothes...Summer being my worst, but now I can't even wear a light sweater without sweating up a storm....it makes me so sad and I wonder if I will ever feel like me again. I used to think I was the woman who could do anything, at anytime without hesitation and now I doubt myself at every turn. Today, I hesitate, adjust, and rearrange but I continue on and keep having faith that this process is not for nothing. This, like the day I began this female cycle of life is a process that I will sooner or later adjust to.
What I know for a fact is that I am not going to let the flux of heat that changes in my body literally from minute to minute change how I dream, love or share myself with others. It won't hinder my giving heart and it won't stop me from reaching out to those who may think they are alone in the world of life changes........what do you know????????
