Keeping track

I would like too suggest that as Empty Nesters we do our best too support each other. How about if possible we get on every day or two depending on your schedule and let each other know at least what we have done today to take care of OURSELVES. Every day do at least one thing no matter how big or how small this seems and report back. I think this would make us feel better and maybe it will give some ideas for the other one to do. Let me know what you think. I will start, today I went shopping some and now I am trying to finish my spring cleaning. I went for a walk this morning and I am getting ready to go on another one . xoxo

I think you have a good idea! Just to check in daily would be nice. This will allow us to know how every one is doing and be able to give more support or send a smile and lighten up someone else's day;)
Good Idea
Your Friend,
Teresa

Yesterday was pretty quite & laid back. I heard from a friend which I have'nt heard from her in months. She went through a bad divorce and was working 2 jobs to keep her bills caught up. Her daughter which had everything .. Long story short found a boyfriend took her mother's credit card and charged it to the max. My friend really believes in family closeness. She is just shocked that her adult daughter which just turned 18 moved out and then charged alot of stuff on her mother's credit card. I feel so bad for her. I know what that is like .I too went through that experience. NOT GOOD. Well, we did get our taxes filed yesterday , thats behind us. Reckon I'll go to the pool today and get some sun. Hope you all have a great day. Oh yeah the chat idea sounds like a good one! :)

Here I am sharing today. I took a nap this afternoon which was WONDERFUL. I called my children and we all went out to eat, which was such a blessing. Tomorrow is Sunday so I am not going to do a darn thing and not feel guilty for it. xoxo

It has finally been nice enough here in North Idaho for me to do gardening which I love. My new medicine Geodon has given me enough energy to really get some work done outside. Also my daughter and her boyfriend are going to be here for Memorial Day and my birthday. Love everyone!!!

I have not been good about checking my support groups. I just read your post about keeping track and seeing how we are all doing. (Has it been over a month I have been here?) I hope all the empty nesters are well and doing OK. Mother's day is hard for me with grown children but it was always hard since I did not have a good relationaship with my own mother and lost her when I was 27. These new seasons of life are sttressful. i wonder if nature goes through so much energy and longing as the summer passes to fall? I love my boys but wish at times they were little and all under my roof again! Bit I am also so proud to see the fine young men they have grown into. Ahhhhhh...life's journeys! God Bless you all!
