Not much changes in my life. I have lived in the same place with the same man, had the same address and phone number for twenty-seven years.
I was just reading a blog I used to frequent (but haven't read in a while) to learn that she is getting a divorce.
I read between the lines of a friend on facebook and feel like her marriage is on the rocks but I don't ask because if she wanted to talk about it she would...
I'm old and boring and like it that way.
I'm that comfortable old pair of shoes or that pair of sweats you really ought to throw away but you just can't part with.
The only thing that changes in my life is my kids. Seth is all but gone.
Mark and I talked tonight about how to adjust our life so that he and I can once again learn to be husband and wife instead of just Mom and Dad. We talked about the fun things we like to do together and how to make that happen. He got busy on the bus.
I'm looking forward to this next chapter of my life, in fact, I'm really really looking forward to it.

I am constantly amazed by your wisdom and the ability you have to shape the world around you in a positive way. When other people would just react to being empty nesters, you tackle it head on and work with your husband to make sure the next season in your lives is just as good as the last one has been.
I want to be like you.
I think being comfortable is a good thing. And it doesn't sound like you are going to be boring. You are already planning for other things. You can be comfortable and exciting. I think it's a good place to be. So, here's to your next chapter!

I want to be just like you when I grow up. :)
I have so many friends going through divorces...it's hard to know when/if you should ask anything.
Love your approach to being "empty-nesters."
