Life has handed me many curves but as you say, we cannot dwell on them.. I have heard that the empty nest syndrome is tough to handle, I love my children a great deal, when my oldest left home to start her life I was super busy with changes in mine, so I didn't have that syndrome, with my youngest I am sure it will be different as I am quite a bit older... Having our own lives is very important xox Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-1895674678108609932015-09-13T22:57:07.372-07:002015-09-13T22:57:07.372-07:00Thanks Leanne - I always appreciate your perspecti...Thanks Leanne - I always appreciate your perspective because I know you've been there!My New Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912544717011410371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-49252335084511404562015-09-11T05:26:26.981-07:002015-09-11T05:26:26.981-07:00welcome to the "lets look for the positive&qu...welcome to the "lets look for the positive" brigade. After I had my melt down a couple of years ago, I wasted 12 months sucking it up, and then realized that the world is what I choose to see it as - that was a turning point for me and I'm glad you're on the same road. Kids leave home and that sucks but looking for the positives helps everyone through the transition!

I share many of your same feelings Lana.

My first born graduates this year and I am overwhelmed. We lost my husbands mother to ALS in June and well, it's been one thing after another. I am a very positive person so I let the light shine and not let circumstances get me down. You're right, the future is coming and we have to smd through it with the help of love, chocolate and wonderful bloggers like you who uplift your readers with grace!! We are not alone and the occasional meltdowns are warranted. ;-)Thank you for this Lana!!

It happens to all of us, but you are such a happy positive person that I can't imagine you any other way. I'm sure glad you are feeling better. Then I saw the bottom with the ad (the ad with the too-dark print sorry), but I am so lucky to have you and Susan as my friends. It is the absolute best thing that has happened to me along with some other great friendships. You and Susan though are like school mates we've been together since the start. I thank you many, many times over for being such a supportive and caring friend. Secondly what are the chances we would start another blog on the exact same day! We're heading into the great unknown and it is scary, but knowing we are going through it and can support each other makes me just a little braver! P.S. The book has been overhauled, completed and edited. I'm letting it sit for a few weeks then I will edit it one more time...then it will be finished haha!
