One of the joys of menopause is no longer feeling like I need to say the right thing all the time, just to please people. I try to make sure my words pass through three gates, as advised by Buddha –
- Is it true?
- Is it necessary?
- Is it kind?
Occasionally I slip up!
Thanks to Linda G Hill for the reminder.
What is it about menopause that makes our filter a little more penetrable or sometimes non-existent? Of course, when I get to be 90, I truly won’t care!

I like the Buddha’s three criteria for saying something. I assume all three criteria have to be met.
