Those first few days it was all I could do to get myself to eat. I had no appetite. I spent every morning in bed journaling, and continuing my gatitude practiced for an hour, two hours or three. whatever it took to get myself up and moving. My energy was gone, drive non-existent and I wasn’t quite sure how to engage with the world because I had never experienced this before.
Losing the Love of My Life
I miss you already. It’s been a day. the house is so empty and quiet without you here. No one talking to me when I pull into the garage. No one giving me the look because you want to eat. No one here licking your lips when I ask, “Are you hungry?” And no one standing here this morning, running in and out of the bedroom waiting, and waiting until I ask, “Are you ready to go for a walk?” and responding with a big tail wag and a jump up from your position on the floor.

But you’ve got two drivers with hands on the steering wheel of the mind. One is supportive, encouraging and helpful. The other pushes, prods and makes you feel guilty. Which voice do you listen to on a regular basis?

Most people are great at setting goals, and creating intentions but then things, situations, people and life get in the way and they don’t understand why they didn’t get what they wanted. And let’s be honest, it can be frustrating. You want it, you’ve decided you’re going to achieve it and whammo, it doesn’t happen.

It is fun, stressful, exciting, scary time for most students and parents I know. For parents of first time college students there is the fear of letting them go for the first time and wondering how they will do without you.
