Yesterday's parting gift - waning sunlight kissing the highest leaves goodnight. Today is my last formal day of work. School will be out for the summer at 11:40 a.m. Tomorrow will be my first full day of vacation/retirement (which is official June 30 when my contract ends). So ends one chapter of my life. So begins another.

congratulations that is awesome!!!! i hope your last day goes well...smiles.
I hope you enjoy your free time.I retired 3 years ago, but recently went back to work.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new-found time. I will be interested to see how you choose to spend it. All that freedom can be a little daunting at first, but you will settle into it luxuriously I trust!
The only trouble with retirement is that there isn't enough time to do all the things that need and want to be done. I can't figure out why I am so busy.
Must drop in to affirm & celebrate. So beginning of you....
Hi Pauline, A BIG congratulations on your retirement and thank you for teaching our youth! Hats off to you.

Thank you all - it was a marvelous day full of love and laughter and shared remembrances and not a bit of regret! J - indeed, let the wild rumpus begin!
Ohhh, Pauline, Congratulations! Wow, a turning point! Also a time, after the celebrations, when anxiety can raise its ugly mug. Don't let it, take one day at a time and remember everything is exactly the way it should be right now.
More time with grandkids! More time watching birds, sunsets and sunrises and more time for silence, when those guiding, whispery voices give you your next creative idea!
Lovely, wild times ahead! xx
Congrats to you, Pauline.
Marion and Hilary, thanks. It's a big transition and there will always be money worries but that's not new and I know how to cope. I love the idea of free time, time that's my own to organize or not, to spend being busy or in quiet contemplation. I've been looking forward to this time for a long time and now that it's here I can't believe it!
