Thank you for reading the July 2023 issue of This Awful Awesome Life. Previous issues are available to read on our website. Go to www.thisawfulawesomelife.com and start scrolling or you can enter specific search criteria.
Next month we are looking at the concept of the empty nest. When does it really start? Is it when our youngest child moves out or goes away to college? What happens if they move back home? Are we still empty nesters in the sense that our children are now adults and do not need us in the same way they did when they were children?
Will you downsize or keep the house for when your kids come to visit with their families?
Will you just fill your days, or do you have a bucket list of exciting adventures?
We’ll also be looking at how to enjoy the last month of summer before September comes, school starts, and those old routines kick in.
Lilly Kauffman, Orlando Bartro, Linda Cahill, and I will be back with interesting articles and recipes for you.
We’ll be continuing our reading recommendations, streaming articles, “What’s in a Word?” and “Dare to Believe.”
It’s a new year for quizzes, Q&A’s, and book reviews.
Stay safe. Stay well. You are important, and you are loved.
All my best,
Fran
