Great Lakes Mom, being sad, crying, is a CHOICE. You can choose to not be sad and you can choose that you will not cry, or, if you do, that you will do so selectively. You can choose instead to be happy, productive, active, busy, engaged, and you can choose to take new risks, try new things, change old habits and begin new ones, etc. You can even choose to decide that that window you cannot reach can just stone cold stay dirty - is someone keeping score?

The way cool, exciting thing is, your life is like a brand new clean white canvas right now. You know where the paint store is, and you can buy the paints and brushes, and you can paint that canvas any scene your mind can dream up and with any colors you want.

The real hard part about this empty nest thing is choosing from all of the fantastic, incredible, endless options available…there are really too many to chose from and not enough years to do them all…what are we waiting for??? better hurry, the clock is ticking, and time is not a renewable resource… :)
