Another thought that is related to this thread and a challenge to think about. (hope it’s not distracting from the thread - but the thread seems to have quieted down)
Think about this. How are you currently or recently “spreading your wings”? I’ve always hated that term “empty nest” - but this is the sort of twisting that thought - your nest is or will become more empty - how are you spreading YOUR wings?
- I’ve joined a local board of a non-profit. I’m not fully comfortable or confident of this! But I talked with the ED who approached me about it and they think I’m a good fit. So I’m meeting new people, learning new things, expanding my knowledge of this part of my community. It makes me feel energized and contributing.
