I'm at work for the last time today, at least at this job. Who knows what the future holds? Well, I know who knows, Jesus! The decision to retire was very hard for me to make, but I finally decided and now the day has come. Actually tomorrow is my last day, but I worked Monday which was my holiday so I could take the holiday tomorrow.
In about an hour and a half they have a luncheon planned for me. I have no idea what's going to happen or who will be there and to tell the truth, that makes me a little nervous. lol But I know it's really going to be fun, but I'm sure a little emotional and stressful too.
I also know when I wake up on Monday it's going to be weird to realize that I'm no longer employed. But I'm so excited to see what life brings. I have so many things I want to do and I'm looking forward to having some time to do some of those things.
So anyway, the next time I show up here, I will be exploring life as a retiree. Hopefully, I can share some of those experiences here. I know I love to read about others who are retired.
Hope you all have a great day and thanks for visiting and Happy New Year
Cathy

Well, they will manage, but I know they will miss you. And YOU will be loving your retirement! God bless you richly as you embark on this next phase of your life's adventure/journey!! "Oh the places you'll go..." Happy New Year too!
