life is full of quiet spaces when we need them.
when we just need to gather our thoughts
and ask
what's next?
I've had a busy last couple of weeks packing, moving, shopping, helping kids get settled and now it's time to give them space, let them breathe and try their wings...time for me to leave dishes in their sink...

you know you can always have mine for a few days =) I bet they are excited and are having a good time.
They'll be calling soon or comming home for the week end real soon. You have raised some awesome adults, and now your allowing the world to have the pleasure of having these people in their lives.

Beautiful words, even more beautiful vision of a quiet place. I'm still waiting for mine.
I don't know where your children are, but I found when I left dishes in the sink at their house, sometimes they are still there when I visit next!!!! I hope you are adjusting ok, go find something to occupy your time, email and call often, and find yourself once again. Now comes the fun part...watching them establish who they are as adults. And people say it is hard raising babies...I beg to differ on that one! Letting go is harder in my opinion!
LOL... SO True!! Happy rest sweetie! You deserve it!hughugs
I find inspiration and encouragement in how your are sharing your thoughts and handling things at this time.
I can't help but wonder what it will be like for me when my girls are that age.
I am praying for you.
hmmmm, well, let me just say this. My daughter is 42, comes over here and I still pick up after her. Then, I go to her house and do the same thing!!
I figure my time might come when I'm really old! And that may be sooner than later. The other day she said "I don't know how you do all that you do, you've ALMOST 70!" I argued with her, but maybe next time I won't. hahahaha
((HUGS))
Now I love this idea about the dishes...Hey, you are going to be fine after the let down, okay? I promise. They will probably talk to you more than when they were around :)
They will always need their Mom!!
Perfect post, Joni :)
That's the attitude!
Beautifully spoken "my turn ... their sink." Well done, indeed! Thank you for the lovely expression of a rich truism.
Lovingly ...
