Empty is the nest that I feathered so dear
Empty is the nest where I held them so near
Empty is the nest where I tripped over toys
Empty is the nest where we made up new stories
Empty is the nest where we watched storm go by
Empty is the nest where we learned God was nigh
Empty is the nest where now I do write
Empty is the nest where I find a new life.
Bloom where You are Planted! Have a Great Weekend!

Oh, Roseann, I remember the half-empty nest. Start planning now for the full empty. When you daydream, what do you pretend you are doing? Then begin to gather information about how that is done. I.E. travel, teaching, writing, painting, roller derby…Whatever!
Hi Dianne! Nice to be new twitter friends with ya! My oldest son is about to leave the nest. Bittersweet for sure!
Hmmmmm, I can feel the tug at you heart. Begin preparing now for the next adventure God has prepared you to accomplish. When you dream, what do you dream that you are doing? With God nothing is impossible! So thankful for you as a new friend!
