Two Is Better In Empty Nest

tree rather   e  m  p  t  y
ornaments hung by my spouse
feels now like Christmas
      motivation was waning
long season of empty nest

I cannot imagine being all alone at Christmas, so I am glad I have my husband who has never hung an ornament though. Thanks for the reminder I should be appreciating something about 2020.

We may need our alone time but never apart. Thankful! God bless!

It's rough, all right... Somehow it's all for the best, though that's sure tough to see right now. Faith and Hope, Gershon

My grandson’s here now so he brings lots of joy and light! He’s a hoot!

Can't see myself enjoying Christmas this year. Oh well. All things pass. ~~

Sending you a Christmas hug. My dear Aunt lost her husband a short time ago. Life is hard but she said she is celebrating for Jesus anyway. Hope you can gift Him a smile.

All parents go through the empty nest syndrome - it is very hard, but this is what we have prepared them for, the big bad world outside. I'm glad your spouse hung the ornaments, he knew you were feeling sad and depressed. A Wonderful Tanka. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I hung many of them and he finished it off. Thanks, Jennifer!
