One of the girls in our book club is never allowed outside her home. I so look forward to getting outside for a walk, it's my solace and joy. People ask if my husband and I walk together. Nope, it's our time away from each other (sometimes needed)!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-80218749150959562662020-05-08T22:54:07.300-04:002020-05-08T22:54:07.300-04:00I had to search for and read what else you had to ...I had to search for and read what else you had to say about the EJDs!

I like your term "life revision." I have never thought of change this way. Yes, the time for teenagers is complicated. I listened to a psychologist who said that this part of their development is all about moving further away from parents and being together with friends, and right now the poor kids are stuck with their parents and away from their friends.
