Too Many Changes

I don't do well at changes. 

I read your blog about relationships and I am stuck.

I finally have my children out of the nest and cried for months about that change. No one talked about it and they told me to go let go. How?

I had a good life.  Mom, wife, career, social life.
I put me into all those places and now my boxes seem empty.

Sure, I will see the kids.  I won't have a guy walk through the door and ask, "What's for dinner, hun?"  I miss that.

I am researching a new career since I plan to live a long healthy life.
Friends are in different stages of their life and frankly I am not that interested in some of them anymore.

I want to be more nurtured. I want friends to be more in balance with calling and planning.
I want a career that is meaningful and not a clock.

I want him to be really into me, well of course not all the time, but one who is a happy relaxed person and comfortable in his shoes then mine.

I want new interests.
My health is great because I take good care. His needs to be, too.

Writing to you, I feel clearer than I thought.

I actually have started napping for twenty minutes when I need it and wow what a good thing.
I am not exactly stuck . I guess.  I am just not sure where to meet new people and I think I have to plan one thing a week like you write and just get out the door.

I want a pizza man to come to the door and make it all magic, like the person you wrote about. 

I will get out the door.

I would love suggestions of what others are doing in the changes.

Thanks so much,
Andrea
