My empty nest got emptier while my husband left town on business for a week. It was just me, the dogs, the birds and the trees. The solitude and relative silence of it had my anxiety buzzing. One week. He’s gone a normal three days anyway. Many years ago, I decided to say yes to everything, instead of telling myself I should have tried. It has brought me many happy experiences. And some not so much, but I’ll be fine.
I have moments Like these too! Funny how I am annoyed at my husband when he’s around but would always choose to have him around than otherwise. 😁
Oh, no! I feel terrible. You’re a strong woman and faced your fear! Brava!
