I have found the Late 40s, menopausal and fading thread very revealing, sad, poignant... It's actually very helpful to 'hear' what's going to happen to us so it has been very informative in that respect. However it's got me thinking that there just has to be some positive aspects to all the changes. I have found for example that I am not as harsh with myself as I used to be, for example I'll wear my legs bare if it's hot, whilst in my 30's I would have always worn tights unless my legs looked absolutely pristine. Also I have become a little more 'dearing' with accessories. My 11 year old DN made me a lovely but very kitsch knitted brooch and I pinned it to my coat and wore it with pride. Silly but liberating. What about you? Do tell.
