Yup -This is it.
It’s a moment in time .
I find myself at the crossroads of work and retirement. I have thought about this day, planned for this day, and even, yes even fantasized about this day! Now that it is here I have a tiny little confession:
I AM TOTALLY ESTATIC!
Okay – maybe I exaggerate.
The truth is exactly what you might expect . . . I have completely mixed emotions.
As I look back over my shoulder I see reflections of 40 years of being someone’s employee.
I have been quite lucky because my places of employment have been extentions of my passions. That counts!
But now I really am looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
I may continue blogging -
I may work part time for another design store -
I may sell jewelry-
I may take a graphic design class -
I may take naps – or spend hours on a floatie!
I also have visions of doing some type of artwork projects with people who are drinking wine at the same time! Hey! Did I just invent a new career?!
Oh wait, I think Jackson Pollock already did that.
Today, however I just want to say thank you to my readers and to my family of co-workers.
Know that you will be dearly missed.
It’s time for me to smell some yellow roses!

Congratulation, my friend. I will be joining you in those greener pastures (of retirement) in another year.
Save a little wine for me.
Enjoy!

What a joy it was, over many years, for me to work with you! I will be back and forth for the next year, at least.
