We Do Not Care Club

Thank you, Melani Sanders, for the We Do Not Care Club.  It is a chance for all perimenopausal and menopausal women to stand up (slowly, because our joints ache) and declare that we no longer care about the things we cared about when we were younger.  If we can't do what we used to do, that's okay.  If we're not up to the activities we used to love, no problem.  If we have to slow down, fine.  

Melani goes on Facebook regularly to make the Club announcements, which always resonate with me.  My favourites so far have been:

• We do not care if the GPS says that this route can save us four minutes.  We are going the way we know.
• We do not care if the tag says hand wash.  It's getting washed as it's getting washed.  It's in the Lord's hands now
• We do not care if smiling makes us look friendly.  We're not.
• We do not care if the AC is blowing and the seat heater is on.  Our balance is not  your business.
• We don't care that our cellulite has cellulite.  God don't make mistakes.

I love that Melani always uses a yellow highlighter to cross off the announcements, and has at least three pairs of glasses perched on her head as she reads them out. I think her outfits are hilarious, and really look quite comfy.  And the other thing I love about this club is that it has exploded to over 500 000 members really quickly.  Melani has said that she started it just to speak her truth.  Well, as it turns out, she's speaking the truth for a lot of people.  I can't wait to see what we say next.
