Oh, and take your calcium lol. Your thoughts on the looking for those memorable moments is so profound. To drop what you think must get done, just to listen, be with,and be our children's audience will make all the difference! In the light of eternity they are what matters most. They won't be the only one's spreading their wings when they are grown.Hopelessly Romantic Art Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892848274989811287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737653296388602253.post-22458507906529874602009-07-30T15:02:34.642-05:002009-07-30T15:02:34.642-05:00Isn't it wonderful how, with so many people re...Isn't it wonderful how, with so many people reading our thoughts here in blogland, there are ALWAYS those that can relate to exactly what we are feeling? My son has been grown and out of the house for several years now, but I can relate to the part about it being time to be who I always hoped I'd be. I can't just sit around and let life unfold. I need to take part in it, and make things happen. At 45, I need to design my life, and live the way I've always dreamed. Thanks for a wonderful post!!<br /><br />Karen<br />My Desert CottageKaren Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01855751574611737740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737653296388602253.post-86109312434397621482009-07-30T11:25:06.065-05:002009-07-30T11:25:06.065-05:00Hi Polly (:)

I can vouch that a 53 year old empty nester will have enough energy to dance! <br />I loved my girls at each age and stage of their growing up, and now I can say that having adult children is wonderful. While I am lonesome at home, I remind myself that it was my goal in parenting... To launch them into the world, where they will be happy and successful.<br />Have a happy day ~NatalieTins and Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926485341907788875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737653296388602253.post-79895521757562485772009-07-29T06:32:11.223-05:002009-07-29T06:32:11.223-05:00Oh my dear Polly, we are on parallel tracks and go...Oh my dear Polly, we are on parallel tracks and going through the same thoughts, feelings, experiences. I can tell you that it is somewhat freeing to have the opportunity to find yourself and finally have the opportunity to be who you always wanted to be. There is a bit of bittersweetness as we let go of our kids. It sure isn't easy, but learning to live your own life instead of theirs helps. I keep thinking that we need a support grooup for mothers of young adults, lol. I wish I had known 10 years ago some of the things I know now. About how important it is as a mother and wife to have your own goals and dreams and what a positive influence that can be on our kids rather than making them the center of our universe. focusing 100% isn't helthy for them or us. It makes them selfish and robs us of a healthy sense of ourselves.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737653296388602253.post-64283034953850485832009-07-29T06:12:18.815-05:002009-07-29T06:12:18.815-05:00There must be something in the air at the moment, ...There must be something in the air at the moment, I have been pondering the same thoughts, as my middle child turns 18!My youngest is 15, so Im quietly panicing inside, wondering where my path will lead...<br />SueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557071561070265063noreply@blogger.com
