Today while I was driving to work there was a motorcycle rider in front of me for many miles.. I noticed that everytime another motorcyclist passed on the opposite lane they acknowledged each other. They did not wave, they just lowered there hand and stuck it out a little bit. I observed this 3 different times while he was in front of me. I thought how cool is that.. they have like a brotherhood... they feel each other and know what each goes through as a motorcyclist. They have alot in common like the thrill of the ride, or wind in their hair and the feeling of freedom.. they also have the downside of drivers not seeing them in their mirrors, bugs in their teeth, and wearing leather and helmet on a hot California day. They were not prejudice as far as only Harley riders acknowledged each other. The
My favorite show ever is "Sons of Anarchy" . Probably for some of the reasons I stated above. The connection they have to each other and the compassion they have (even though it is criminal and anarchist) with each other.
So I believe that all of us women, that have suffered and are suffering withe "Pause" (shhhhh menopause") or if you have someone near and dear to you that is going through the "Pause" and feel the repercussions and ramifications of it. We should feel the comradery and compassion of the road and journey we are on.
Yesterday at work, the air conditioner was set and running 70 degrees. Nice comfortable temperature. I looked around and noticed 3 women with their own personal fans blowing directly on them and then there were 2 other women with their sweaters on.... ummmm! As for me, my personal fan was on high blowing right at my sweaty forehead... everyday...all day..8 hours.
Then on my chair I have an old sweater draped across my chair... just in case!
Wouldn't it be cool if we had a way to acknowledge each other..like the motorcyclists acknowledge each other.. How about a secret handshake? Nah.. How about a wink?...Nah..
I think the title "Daughters of Anarchy" is perfect... We are a breed of our own, travelling a new road and journey in our life.. and our bodies are just reaking Anarchy on us right now.. So I feel you Sister and as a Daughter of Anarchy.. I can't wait to see what's down the road and get to the end of the journey ... What's on the other side of this Anarchy?
