What to do next?

[BeingMe]

So true, Phoenix! One should love like there is no tomorrow, and if we should be gone, we want our children to have fond memories of us.

I always say that one thing my H and I did well, was bring up the most awesome kids. Somehow, with all our problems, we managed to do pretty well by them. And, this DB'ing has helped me be an even better mom to them too, even if they are mostly grown up. I listen better, and am a lot more empathetic to their problems. I am also a better cheerleader, and always try and find positives in what they do, while being realistic about their negatives (can't let our kids think everything they do is great, and then they have an unrealistic sense of themselves).

You seem to be in a good place now, so just keep trying to build on that.
