I just read your last three posts and I think ...Hi. I just read your last three posts and I think they're wonderful.<br /><br />I've been feeling the same anxiety that you describe in 'Something Is Not Right!' It's a vague kind of grief over my son getting older. He's just 10 and still relatively so young but I LOVED the years that he's just growing out of and I'm feeling sad in an unspecific kind of way.<br /><br />I'll be back to read more later... <br />Nice to have found your site.chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873134631518712468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-31320445104151550432006-11-16T08:59:00.000-08:002006-11-16T08:59:00.000-08:00Thanks Betsy!

It is also prompting me to re-define my career goals and find focus there, so s'all good. Right?! :-/ As for grandmothering -- baby, you BET I'll be a good one! :-) Can't wait! (Oh wait -- yes, I can!)<br /><br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918419288660146429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-12803281185845016042006-11-16T04:42:00.000-08:002006-11-16T04:42:00.000-08:00it's not surprising that you're feeling a little "...it's not surprising that you're feeling a little "off" right now. Our identity is so wrapped up in our daily activities. We view ourselves as managers, mothers, bloggers, etc. When one of these things changes, (i.e. we leave our jobs) one's identity changes as well, and it takes a while to find an equilibrium again!<br /><br />And as for the empty nest syndrome, I'm sure you'll have some tough moments, but don't forget that you probably have grandchildren to look forward to as well! As warm as you are and as much as you love children-- you're going to be a FABULOUS grandma! :-)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451957392894462983noreply@blogger.com
