How is your life different today than it was a year ago?
I think I am less active than a year ago. Also preparing for empty nest in a few days. Will be strange being totally on my own.
How can you be thankful for those changes?
Acually need to get more active once social distancing is over. The fact that my nest will be empty means I have, hopefully, prepared my youngest daughter to be independent and self sufficient.
If lifes changed for the worst, what are some small things that you can appreciate?
i am thankful for family and friends who check in regularly to make sure I am doing ok . Think especially this past year, since the sudden passing of my older brother a year ago, my two youngest siblings and I have become closer.
@Shyone7834
I am sorry to hear about your loss, it must have been very hard to come to terms with it. Good that you and your sibling could comfort each other in those rough times.
Empty nest can be very challenging, please remember that you can always get support here. This is a link which hopefully will be helpful
