I’m having a little bit of writer’s block. It doesn’t happen to me often, but nothing is stirring me, except perhaps the heat, and the humidity, and feeling a little stuck in my process of trying to move comfortably into the Empty Nest.
As I was writing the above sentences, my daughter texted me (she started her freshman year of college this summer). The text said this:
“Just had the best meeting with my advisor! He is so nice and I got all of my problems fixed lol.”
I found this comforting for many reasons. We all need to have meetings with “My Advisor.” “My Advisor” has a way of making everything seem easier, under control, and reassuring that all of our problems will be fixed. Do you need to schedule an appointment with your own “My Advisor”? Is this meeting a little overdue? Find a way to fit in a meeting in with your “Advisor” today in whatever form that takes for you: prayer, nature walk, meditation, quiet time, etc. It will be the best use of your time today. I promise.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Yes! Don’t we all need someone to say, “Keep going. You’re on the right path. But you might want to think about adding a little more fun into each day. And if you just tweaked this one thing right here, your life would flow better. Other than that, you’re doing great! Check back before autumn.”
I love your advisor, Gail!!
