Well I have had many hats and some I put on from time to time and some never ever! Maybe I will try on a couple more soon. I shared this with my favorite Moms!! Thanks!
Great piece, Karen! I’ve been an empty nester (off and on) for six years. That new hat fit me right away and I love wearing it (with my mom hat tucked inside of course...do we ever really take that one off?). But a year ago I retired from my day job and sometimes I feel very hatless, which makes me uncomfortable. I love it, but often feel guilty having all this freedom and letting my hair down. Thanks for reminding me to enjoy this “whole new me!”
Isn’t it crazy that we feel guilt when we feel freedom? We do t know how to just/take care of ourselves. This stage of life brings lots of new sensations.
Oh man! That was so good! I can absolutely relate to becoming a new me once my youngest was old enough to drive. And it wasn’t so much about the new found freedom, although that was a part of it. Around the same time I discovered personal development and took a beautiful, deep dive into rediscovering me. It’s been a blast!

Love this! What great timing for new discoveries!
