Are you in the season of being an empty-nester? Or maybe you will be in a year or two.
I share my experience and reaction to now being considered an empty- nester.
1) Everyone will have different emotions as they become empty-nesters.
2) Not feel guilty but take time to grieve if needed and find your true self outside of the definition of motherhood.
3) Discover new activities you might like to do or rediscover old ones you may have had to put on the back burner while raising your children.
4) If your youngest is a junior or senior in high school and you are anticipating the empty nest season, focus on savoring and be involved in their final years in HS and at home with you. Cherish the time.
5) You are not alone in any of this. But don't sit in the deafening silence and do nothing. Get out there and do something you enjoy.
My freedom travels:
Being on the road and exploring our amazing country has opened my eyes to the remarkable beauty our land has to offer. We should not take advantage of what is around us and often right in our own backyards. Get out and explore our country or your community. I also was able to check off a bucket list item.
Live to your fullest!
