Some things to do to prepare for the empty nest phase:Plan a fun trip
Make a career change
Read great books
Try new recipes
Take a class
Learn a new hobby (What is it you've always wanted to learn how to do but never had time?)
Decorate and/or paint a room (I really enjoyed this.)
Have lunch with friends
Adopt a pet
Renew old friendships
Get involved in political issues
Serve in the community
Serve in your church
Participate in a Bible study
Re-focus on your spouse
Recognize your new role as a behind-the-scenes prayer warrior (this is exciting!)
Remember the key is to plan ahead. The empty nest phase of life doesn't have to be empty. It can be filled with fun, family, and friends!
Have a blessed day, Robin
