Seeing One's Self

Recently, while attending a family function, I kept hearing a younger cousin go on and on about her hot flashes and the symptoms of menopause in general. At first, there were murmurs of sympathy and agreement here and there, yet after the drinks kept flowing on that warm afternoon, the complaints kept coming, but the audience had moved on. 
One of the thoughts that blew through my ears, "good golly, does she think she's the first person in the world to experience menopause?". Which immediately brought a smile to my face. Because I could see myself most likely doing the same both with my older sibs and the people I worked with. Yep! I can see it now. There I was, going on and on to anyone who might listen. 
My sincere apologies,
Love, K
