Changing Jobs

So the time has come.
The boy has more than one foot out the door, he has his sights set on his future, and he is aiming high.
The girl has been kicked out of the nest, or gently nudged, she has grown a majestic pair of wings.
I can't wait to see what beautiful mountain they land on.

Yet when you are the Momma left in the nest you can't help but feel a little lonely
and inspired by the possibilities,
that "I can do anything" mentality
I want to say , youth is wasted on the young
but it's not.
believing ..... that is what we all need more of.

So now my challenge is what do I believe in?
What is my future?
What am I passionate about?
What feeds ME?

Because ,
you see
I have been the Momma in the nest feeding....
My most favorite job ever...
But they don't need to be spoon fed anymore

So now my second path of self discovery begins.
Wish me luck, hold my hand, and send me Kleenex.
