I chucked the outside-the-home job six and a half years ago, and am thrilled. Of course, you may wonder why my closets aren't better organized, and why I haven't completed dozens of projects (quilts, writing, etc.) but that's my own fault... apparently. Go ahead and put me to shame-- I'd love to see you soar! <br /><br />Enjoy these next few weeks-- you deserve it.Leah Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748324754530747231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-91311263157790968012010-11-07T13:21:14.867-06:002010-11-07T13:21:14.867-06:00Congratulations on your upcoming retirement.

The hardest thing for me is that friends and family think that you now have all this time on your hands and are always asking for some of that precious time from you. I'm just now learning how to say "no". You've earned this extra time to spend any way you want!Leave a Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736682143653420541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-65436483692464787712010-11-06T23:55:41.253-05:002010-11-06T23:55:41.253-05:00I would guess you are a bit of a perfectionist als...I would guess you are a bit of a perfectionist also..you have all winter to blog and get used to retirement!:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-90273337516156108362010-11-06T23:04:00.187-05:002010-11-06T23:04:00.187-05:00I can sure understand how things would be hard rig...I can sure understand how things would be hard right now.
