New Beginnings….

My youngest child started high school today and my oldest child leaves for college in a week. Hmm…change seems to be a theme in my life right now. Change can be wonderful or it can be frightening, depending on your perspective. Some see an ending of an era when their kids grow up. I see that, but simultaneously, it is a new beginning for all of us. I now have 2 freshmen  getting ready to have lots of new experiences and beginning to grow wings for their hopes and dreams in a fresh way. My husband and I have a new state of being as well. With 2 independent kids…our son is active in marching band and show choir and will be seldom home this fall except for evenings and Sundays. (seriously) Our daughter will be away at school. We certainly will be involved in their lives but also be courting a Pseudo-empty nest. At least our son will sleep here! Strange after having kids in tow for 18 years. I am finishing my next album..er..CD and working on a book and all that needs my attention. My dear husband has a corporate job that occupies lots of his waking hours but he will have a bit more time for his own creative endeavors, which have been on the back burner for a while. We might just have a little more time to spend together too. Which in a marriage is so important and takes a lot of intention in our busy society. Although I expect a few tears and have already shed some in this process of letting go, I am excited about the prospect of New Beginnings for all of us! What change is happening in your world and how do you feel about it? Comment below, I’d love to hear from you. 🙂
