The Happiness Project: Day 3
2011 is in the rearview mirror and 2012 stretches out before me like a blank canvas. When I look back at 2011, there are several things that stand out:
Ah, yes. It has been a wonderful year. :o)
And 2012 will be a good year, too. I can feel it. And given the fact that this is my last full year with my kiddo at home, I am determined to savor every moment of it. My goal is to make this year memorable and special. I want to make a big deal out of the holidays, and would like to do more to cherish the small moments, too. (I know I'm going to miss my kiddo horribly, so I think I need to start preparing now)
Anyone else out there starting to prepare for an empty nest?
- going to Vegas to spend a long weekend with my BFF
- going to 2 CKC events
- going to the Princess Diana Exhibit at Union Station
- my daughter getting her driver's license
- presenting at the state paralegal seminar
- teaching a scrapbooking class for the public library
- presenting at the Mid-Mo Writers Conference

Enjoy that last year at home w/K, and good luck transitioning into the empty nest. Even those of us who thought we were prepared find it challenging to navigate. You'll get used to it, and, knowing you, you'll thrive with all the time you'll find for writing. Or, perhaps, for additional trips to Vegas . . .
