1st Day of Empty Nesting...Intro
31 Days of......what?????
Hmm ... After much deliberation I chose "Empty Nesting." I have been in training for the Empty Nest for the last few years, and as of July, the transition is complete. It is final. It is irrevocable.
There is a lot of pain in the change, and added to so many other things going on here in the last couple of years, the pain has been intense and pervasive.
But I want to find hope.
There are two sides to everything, so....
Empty Nest = Despair and Depression and Sadness?
Or Empty Nest = Freedom?
To both questions may I say a resounding YESSSS!!!!!!

You are right---both feelings are prevalent! I love my empty nest, but that doesn't mean I don't love my kids. One of the reasons I began blogging in earnest is because I saw myself as having two choices when my daughter left home for the big city--I could (a) crawl into a bottle of gin and stay there, or (b) I could reach out to other women who were also empty nesters. I'm glad I chose the latter!
Kirby, that's it exactly!!! Thanks for visiting!
