I love the idea of trashing the term “empty nest” and replacing it with “successful launchpad.” My wife and I are in an empty neat small group. I’m going to suggest a name change!
And her grandmother sounded like an amazing woman. What a great role model.
“At heart, I’m a frustrated idealist who is too sensitive for my own good. So I can definitely fall into negative spells. My solution is usually just to step away from technology and either take a walk with my dogs, cook for my family, or read a book.
But I’m also the kind of person who starts to laugh when too many things go wrong at once. Then it becomes comical to me. When things are truly bad, I always find reasons to laugh. It might be my secret power.”
Loved this interview. A natural sense of humour is such a superpower.
Love the bumper stickers!
To answer your questions, CK:
1) My grandpa passed away in 2006, 47 years after doctors told him he would!
2) Yes, please play this game!! It is so fun.
Go gpa!!
🤣
Laughing when things go wrong is the best kind of superpower! Thanks for the inspiration.

She was amazing!
And yes, let's all ditch "empty nest!"
I love this whole thing but especially this:

Me too me too!
Me three. Great insight. ♥
I'm not surprised you can relate, Lindsey!
Love the "I also got funnier in high school, because, well, high school".. Laughing sooner is a great way to be healthy in life. Thanks for sharing.
I used to say I went to school with the meanest girls on the whole East Coast. It gave me plenty of angst for humor!
What is it about the HS girl clique that has the mean gene?
