Sunday August 14th was the official first day of my
empty nest.
I just had a thought….
I have never lived alone!
How will I take it?
Will I be afraid?
Will I love it?
Will I hate it?
My daughter and her husband moved out on Saturday while I was spending Friday and Saturday with my boyfriend. The boyfriend lives an hour and a half away from me, It’s an hour and a half if traffic is moving …. if not it can take as long as 3 1/2 hours…. but hey… that’s life in Southern California!
So this is what I find when I returned home.
Nothing but a bunch of trash bags full of stuff to donate.
A few tears well up in my eyes and hit the floor as I start to ponder the quiet that has now fallen upon my once noise filled house.
I dried my tears…took a deep breath…and turned the page…begining a new chapter in my life.
I can’t help but wonder if the quiet will drive me crazy and force me to….
Or, will I be so bored it will cause me to eat junk all day.
I hope not….
Or will I work out too much, till I look like this?
Ditto… on the…. I hope not!
I think for now I will stay pretty busy with re-decorating my nest!
I have painting to do today…let the make over begin!
XOXO,
Janice
