Does anyone have a bucket list? I think I would like to travel and maybe sky dive. I also want to buy a house in a field without any neighbours and have loads of animals.

Why do eyebrows appear to become sparse and lighter in colour after menopause? Also I used to have thick hair on my head and now it seems very fine. Is there anything that can help please?

I am very sensitive to "tough love", as I always got the TOUGH part but never the LOVE... So I don't actually thrive with that. HOWEVER, I realized a gentler way to redirect myself. I can tell myself that ALL I have to remember is that there are always TWO "channels" playing: the one that gets me stuck and keeps me stuck (or worse), and the one that uplifts me. So if there are always TWO channels playing, then at any moment of any day, I can tune in and ask myself which channel am I "tuned into" right now? And instead of feeling frustrated or feeling like I have to somehow eliminate the channel that is keeping me stuck (in a misguided attempt to keep me "safe"), I can simply bring that one with me AS I tune into the other channel. My daughter left yesterday for the summer. I went from literally 24-7 at home with her taking care of her being present with her managing my emotions (not temper but more grief fear etc)... to... gone. In the past, being honest, i would have basically disassociated for i don't know how long after she left. I don't have "family " that I can ACTUALLY be safe around. So I go from hard core running the ship completely to completely isolated 😬 But all of that to say, it is less than 24 hours after she left... and I have already made different choices this time. 🥳 At first it felt like "why bother? NO ONE is seeing me today etc".. but ultimately I realized that I self abandoned ALLL the time in the past. And I'm NOT freaking doing that this time!! I truly need to treat this as two people live here. TWO. Me AND her. And just because she is currently gone doesn't mean *I* don't still exist. But that is NEW for me. Truly. So that being said, I have done a load of laundry and done a workout! And before that I took my vitamins and have drank a lot of water and eaten protein! And had aha moments! This is probably the way I'd be acting in the past by Wednesday after she left. So from Saturday to Wednesday in the past, I'd be basically disassociated. Not really eat or drink until I was starving and then it would be total junk. Most likely would have drank a decent amount too. To escape the absolute jarring feeling of going from 24/7 to nothing. Especially where she's going and all of that.
