What does this mean REALLY? I understand the statement but how do I put into action? My kids are out of the house this year, and I have been working in Hawaii for the past 5months(3 to go), with no family here, so I have had alot of time to think about what I want to do with my life, and I guess I am having a hard time answering this question. (maybe alittle bit of the empty nest syndrome?) for so long my goals have revolved around raising my kids what does one do when that is finished? I kinda feel alittle lost and unsure of how to step out into life and actually live it, and not just muddle along with no direction! 

Strange, Ive been thinking about this same thing. My "baby" graduated high school sunday. Everyone is calling me an emptynester now. I have been a mom since I was 21 and I just had my 45th birthday. Everything Ive done has been centered around them. I really dont know how its going to go but I think I might like actually having time for me. I know there will be an adjustment period but I enjoy life and all the changes it brings. I dont worry about missing out on things. Its going to be interesting to see what I do now that I make decisions for myself now and not myself and 3 kids. Guess Ill find out:)
