Is Menopause A Laughing Matter?

Is menopause a laughing matter?

Maybe, maybe not.

Depends on your sense of humor, right?

One thing is certain, though.

Laughter and humor do MATTER and seeing what you’re experiencing through a humorous lens will make it easier and perhaps even fun.

I know some of you have seen this joke when you read your free report, 7 Simple Strategies You Can Use Today To Feel Better and Optimize Your Health During Menopause, BUT please read it again. It never fails to make me laugh!

Question: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: One! ONLY ONE! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don’t even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!

They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn’t be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they’ve been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS!

But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!

AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!

IT’S A WONDER WE HAVEN’T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!

IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL!

I’m sorry. What was the question?

What makes YOU laugh time and time again?

For me it’s Rowan Atkinson, the British actor who plays Mr. Bean. He makes me laugh.

It’s also my friend Victoria and my friend Ariel. Whenever I spend time with either of them, there are bound to be a few deep-belly-can -barely-catch-my-breath kind of laughs.

It’s also the Who’s On First, What’s on Second comedy routine by Abbott and Costello.

Recently, I attended the memorial service for my brother, who passed away not too long ago. Not what you’d usually think of as a humorous experience, right?

The Abbott and Costello piece was one of his favorites, so in his honor two of his friends performed this routine.

These two men had never met before and had never performed before. It was hilarious and kept us all laughing. It was a fitting tribute to my brother, whose sense of humor was as wacky as it gets.

It got me thinking.

I would be totally pleased if at my funeral people stood up and said, “We’ll miss Shelli because she had a great sense of humor and made us laugh!”

So is menopause a laughing matter?

You tell me!

If you feel like I do that life is lived best with a sense of humor and menopause is part of life, then YES, menopause is a laughing matter!
