Mid Life Crisis strikes Empty Nester

Some have stopped listening to the logical voice within and are experiencing depression, fatigue and insomnia. You no longer have to spend sleepless nites waiting for the little ones to come home so why is it your having trouble sleeping through the nite?

When we realize our homes are quiet and the phone isn't ringing we find there is a void, a space in both our brains and our lives. That twenty to twenty-five year span completely engulfed us in participating in everyone else's lives. It can be scary to think that you now can make all those decisions with yourself in mind. I know many that put their needs so far down the priority list that they experienced depression over only having their own lives to take care of. Is fun still a word that exists in your own vocabulary?

Can you take the time to turn that Empty Nest into a Fun, Fabulous Palace and a place to enjoy the next 25 years? More on this subject at Remodeling means more to Baby Boomers than a tax break!
