My interpretation of this week’s WordPress photo challenge – ‘The World Through Your Eyes’ – could be subtitled ‘Just the Two of Us.’
Just the two of us,
We can make it if we try,
Just the two of us.
You and I.

The World Through Mama’s Empty Nest Eyes
Posted on by Mama's Empty Nest
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

Thanks, Debby! It makes me happy that you see love in that photo. I think one of the perks of the empty nest syndrome is reconnecting with your spouse and enjoying time as a couple again.

Yep, it sure does! Now that the kids are all grown and gone, we even took the leaf out of our kitchen table. It used to be oval and have 6 chairs around it; now it’s a circle with 4. Where once it accommodated our family of 5 and a few extra friends/dates, now it’s just the two of us.
