I am an empty-nester at age 35. I did not intend to be. My daughter lived with me from the age of 5 until a few weeks ago at almost-17.
With D gone from my dailies, I do unlikely activities to create a future of my own.
I've been using hemp lotion.
I made pen pals with my niece.
I'm learning how to wear a bandana in my hair, different ways...and not wash it so many days.
I switched to Irish Oatmeal, and learned how to do it in the slow cooker overnight.
I baked 2 batches of experimental cookies tonight.
Bought Almond milk....
Made a grilled cheddar and pear sammich for dinner...
Been on the lookout for a new sweet babydog-companion for Sadie the WonderDog.
Am mixing Yoga practice into my calendar.
"I think of my friends and the troubles they've had to keep me from thinking of mine"...
I hope these explorations even me out...
I'm taking what seems in this moment like a negative, and trying to turn it into a positive.
It seems positive to start doing things I have been wanting to do. And I have one less excuse than I did before.
All love,
Bean
