It's not your fault, Mom.<br />
You put so much pressure<br />
on yourself...<br />
You do so because of your<br />
caring nature and beautiful<br />
heart...<br />
...and, Darling, that is<br />
certainly not to blame. In fact<br />
that is what makes you<br />
special...<br />
..and me in awe of you!<br />
But those poor adrenals of<br />
yours...<br />
All they are trying to do is<br />
keep you alive.<br />
They don't know that they<br />
are in the wrong century, the<br />
wrong country.<br />
They are just too slow to<br />
adapt with no signs of that<br />
changing anytime soon! (I<br />
know, what's wrong them,<br />
right?)<br />
Where death and running for<br />
our lives isn't lurking around<br />
every corner.<br />
The stress systems that<br />
exists in your hard working<br />
body are t here...<br />
...to keep you and your loved<br />
ones safe.<br />
Safe from human eating<br />
monsters like tigers and<br />
bears. (whew, your coach<br />
almost typed 'oh my'...which, I<br />
apologize, stopped being<br />
funny around 40 years ago no<br />
matter how much of a classic<br />
Wizard Of Oz is :) )<br />
Now we are worried about<br />
money...<br />
..getting to work on time<br />
....the stressors of the job<br />
......and our kids (who you<br />
love so much, don't you?)<br />
....or how our butt looks in<br />
those jeans...I know , big<br />
w orries, right ?!<br />
Yet that type of worry kicks<br />

the ol' adrenals int o action<br />
33<br />
anyway, my Mom Warrior!<br />
Those adrenals are just<br />
sputtering along.<br />
You are doing everything<br />
right... Everything you are<br />
supposed to do.<br />
Yet, those adrenals are<br />
limping along, not functioning<br />
like they should.<br />
Causing those pant sizes to<br />
stay right where they are at.<br />
Causing you to be moody at<br />
odd times throughout the day.<br />
Causing you to be less the<br />
amazing woman you are.<br />
You just want to feel like<br />
your carefree, spontaneous,<br />
fun, energetic self again, don't<br />
you?<br />
Adrenals are like a<br />
credit card in t hat t hey<br />

Back in the cavewoman days,<br />
the female was a force to be<br />
reckoned with....<br />
....And she would have made<br />
you proud, my good reader.<br />
SHE is the reason humanity<br />
has survived through those<br />
tough times, not the dudes.<br />
There is no limit to the<br />
greatness of the female, and<br />
that is why I am so in awe of<br />
you.<br />
Now, despite all her powers<br />
of perseverance,
