Sometimes these things hit us several times throughout our lives and for different reasons. Oftentimes, it's a bit of news, such as your friend, that can set off all of these questions. I too, am an empty nester. I have often questioned just what impact have I made? The thing is, you really don't necessarily know. It might be that we aren't supposed to know either. And just when things are going well, round two will come at you, and the process starts all over again. Solution? I don't have one, but if we strive to live our lives the best we can, doing for others along the way, things will turn out okay. Sometimes, the smile you sent a little old lady was the difference between her ending her life or not. Like I said, we just often don't know.

Hang in there; eventually, if there's something else you should be doing, it will be revealed to you. Take care!🤗💜
