Thank God I Have PMS

Last updated on March 23, 2018 By Jing J. 2 Comments

A sunny and windy morning in Boston, I am sitting by a fire, thinking: Thanksgiving is time to say thanks to things and people we are grateful for in our lives. Have I ever said thanks to PMS – a longtime friend who’s been there with me through the ups and downs of life?

Never once. So today is a day I say, “Thank God I have PMS.”

I really mean it, and here are my top seven reasons why:

PMS makes me realize I am not perfect,

so I am much more tolerant of other people’s shortcomings nowadays.

PMS gives me an excuse to pamper myself.

I get to relax a little, ease off on the discipline, and indulge in shopaholism, chocoholism and a few other “olisms” once a while – luckily not alcoholism. I believe this is healthy for me. It helps me connect with my inner child.

PMS teachers me humility.

I realize even though I strive to be strong and exceptional, deep down I am still a child longing for love and affection.

PMS gives me an excuse to be alone.

When I put the “No Visitor” sign up, even just mentally, people leave me alone and give me space to rest and heal.

PMS teachers me much about myself.

I realize how strong I am. And I have the ability bring my mind and body back into harmony.

PMS gives me a convenient test in choosing a potential mate.

Marilyn Monroe said it the best, “If you can’t take my worst you don’t deserve my best.” I totally buy into that!

PMS helps me bond with over 1 billion women on the planet.

We may have different skin color, different educational backgrounds or occupations. But hey, we have one thing in common – we menstruate and share the ups and downs of being a woman. How cool is that.

So today I say, “Thank God I have PMS.” Is there anything else you are grateful for? Please share it by leaving a comment.

    It is so true. Life has a great sense of humor. Often it brings blessings with disguise. It is with faith that we face life and its ups and downs with open arms, and learn and grow from it. Thank you so much for sharing.

    im grateful that im not the one who has to control Life and Destiny, because whenever things dont turn out the way i have expected, planned, wished them to, it has always ended up unfolding something so much more wondrous and enlivening than i could have possibly imagined at the time ~ even if i didn’t think so at first and was disappointed or upset, i have always later found myself embarrassed for having doubted Life once the opportunity was before me to behold the full view and Glory of what had been bestowed upon me for the cost^-^’
