Hello all and to the world,
This is my first blog post. I am just going with the flow. So I hope you can relate and enjoy.
I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about this new role that was quickly forced upon me. I know I am not the first and surly will not be the last empty nester. But, I had no idea the loneliness that I would experience when my last child left home and headed off to college. It has been a year and I am still not "back to normal". I don't really know if this is the new normal or just a fact of life. Don't get me wrong, I have a great life, a great husband of 30 plus years and three other wonderful children. But the feeling of not really not knowing what to do anymore is beyond my comprehension. My life was so consumed with raising my kids that I never really carved out a separate life for myself. So now I don't know what to do with all of this free time that I have on my hands. I am back in school pursuing another masters and that is only calls for a few hours a week. I am half way finished with that and need to find some other activities to occupy my time.
Please do not think I am complaining this is just a new phase of life. I am sure I will integrate and figure it out just as I always do.
