Recently I looked in the mirror and had to do a double take. Who is that person looking back at me? How did I get this old and when did my body rearraage itself? Not only that, Ray and I both turned the big five-o a few months ago and for the first time in 26 years have no children at home.
Now some have thought our empty nest would leave us bored and lonely, but not so. We are embracing this stage in our lives and are having a lot of fun with the freedom and flexibility it has given us to spend more time together. We have also realized how quickly life passes by, so have decided to make sure we are doing all of the things we have always dreamed of doing.
It is time to put the rest the misconceptions that twenty-somethings have about people our age. If you have seen the 2011 Toyota Venza commercials, you pretty much know what I'm talking about.
Trust me, life when the kids leave is not that bad!
