The summer just flew by. I don't know where it went, but it's gone. Both daughters are back at college and the nest is empty again. It hit me hard this time. I've spent the last few days just trying to get myself out of a slump.
The upcoming weeks promise to be busy, high holidays and various other things. Before I know it, it will be Thanksgiving and winter break. What I really can't believe is that my oldest will be graduating from college in May. That's one of those very significant milestones in life. Somehow it seems way more important than when I graduated from college myself...odd, huh?
I wonder why that is? Why do the accomplishments of my daughters feel more significant than my own achievements? The answer would probably open a whole Pandora's Box of issues I most likely wouldn't want to address, but probably should.
I'm looking forward to her graduation with great exuberance. I've set a goal to be at the same weight I was on my wedding day by it. I don't know if I'll make it, since my rate of loosing slowed down significantly this summer...but I'm going to try!
Speaking of milestones, I'm close to hitting one...100 lbs lost!!! So close. Maybe next week??? It would be a nice thing for Rosh Hashanah, starting the new year off right. Wish me luck!
