Second to last chapter talks mainly about menopause, perimenopause and cancer. Quite a short chapter actually. Obviously it was easier to write about cosmetic surgery etc. than talk about health issues.
Looks like they've left the best till the last chapter - "living". Already love the comment "Do the weekends pass in a blur while you rush around just trying to get on top of things so you can hurtle to work again on Monday?' Yes they do. How about yours? There's a little quiz to do and some goals to set.
I love this one - "Be selfish...people who are selfish live longer." Doesn't that go against what we've been taught. But their idea of being selfish is to stay in bed for an hour longer or watch a movie in bed, buy a couple of magazines to read or drop into a local coffee shop. I think I could do that sort of selfish.
Lots of gems to read in this chapter. Finally from my $1 bargain - 5 tips for preserving emotional energy.
"1. You are not responsible for the happiness of others...
2. For some people complaining is just a habit...
3. Don't feel obliged to say yes...
4. Don't do favours that are beyond the call...
5. Practise saying 'no" nicely."
Bookclub tonight, yippee!!!!
