Are you an empty nester? It’s hard sometimes, once the kids
leave home, to find the two of you again especially if you have been parenting
for many years. If you are in this stage
of life remember that the sky is the limit as to the adventures you and your
spouse can have.
For this date I want you to put on comfy clothes, grab a
notebook and perhaps your laptop, and snuggle up in your favorite together
spot. Start dreaming of all the things
you want to do and the places you want to go before you are too old to enjoy
them. Anything goes for this brainstorm
session. Write them all down. Now choose your top 20 things and put them in
the order you would like to do them.
Don’t throw away your brainstorm page because as soon as you cross one thing
off your list you can add another onto the bottom!
Do you need to start a bucket list money jar? Buy a fun one, decorate it, and contribute to
it weekly. Put all of your loose change
in it and watch it grow.
Relationship Reconnection Tip:
All too often when we are in the thick of raising our
children we lose sight of ourselves, as a couple. We lose sight of each other and the reason we
joined together and became a family. So
talk about your dreams…your individual ones as well as those you have
together. And if you don’t have one, create
one. Where do you see yourselves in 5
years, 10 years, or 15 years? Where do
you see yourself next year? What would
you like to be doing? Tonight just talk
to each other, the way you did when you were dating and planning your life
together. Plan it again and then do
it! There is no need to wait
anymore. The kids are gone! Let the adventures begin. Fall in love all over again…every single day!
