Understanding my midlife body 
Lately living inside of it has felt much like 
I sometimes feel like I am just standing outside of
this amazingly created flesh and bones house that I dwell in,
only to see disconnected-disjointed pieces and parts
that make entirely no sense!
It's as if my hormones are warring with my thyroid,
which is warring with my emotions,
which is warring with my lack of memory,
which is warring with the 15 pounds I have gained this year,
and all of them are warring with my emotions;
which brings me back to my hormones.
So I ask for help -- take my chubby ole butt to my Naturalpath where I begin to feel like someone understands something about the mess I see. Someone who can tell me what steps I can choose to take next so I can gain some calm understanding of what may be
busted
cracked
or rusty.
I love my doctor...she drew some blood, took notes,
asked questions and even
laughed with me in understanding.
My hope is
that when the solution options are evident from the test results,
my body begin to repair itself toward a more usable structure!

Ahh...nice use of pics and a bit of poetic writing to tell about hormonal change. Clever. Your brain is working well to come up with that. Who cares if it can't remember s***!
Oh Rhonda aptly put! What a great use of some cool photos too. How do you think like that??? I wish. NJT
What a wonderfully visual metaphor. I think this is my favorite Tink post ever. Hugs sweet YaYa.
