I wrote the date at the top of a new page in my notebook at writing group tonight and then remarked to the three other middle aged women present, “This is the 41st anniversary of when I started menstruating.” One of them asked, “Should we celebrate that?” I then said, “But I’ve stopped. I think we should celebrate that instead.”
