Life begins at retirement. ~Author Unknown
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Sometimes it's all about knowing that loved ones and friends stand behind you, knowing that support is there on the down days, the worry days, the days when you feel off-center, out of sync, bedraggled emotionally, and in pain, but knowing all the while that you're not alone. You're not alone... Alice is an online friend--she lives in Hawaii-- who belongs to the writer's workshop that I do. We've only "met" online, but those who have online friendships know that they can be just as strong as those in-person relationships. Alice was hit by a car while walking, and is in the rehab phase of things. She's working to regain mobility after a broken pelvis, a broken arm, and a broken nose.

I LOVE your funky glasses!
If I were a designer ... I'd make earrings like those glasses ... eyeballs in them. And put pictures of ears in the glasses.
Very best wishes on your New Life. Hopefully not too much of it will be spent figuring out that new mobile phone!

I've been thinking about getting new glasses. Those are quite nice! ;-)
BTW I have some great eye drops!!
Your haircut is darling~~
Look forward to lots of retirement blogging stories.
As Janice said ~~ May God grace always surround you !
LOL: Wanda
I'm with Ross. The first thing I noticed…. Well, the second thing, actually, was that kooky character behind you. Then I thought, oh that is probably just one of the other teachers at Ruth's OLD school. I also note you are coming out of storage, both figuratively as well as literally. Anyway I assume that is a storage door behind you.
Many congratulations lady. Get that cell phone cranked up, Carter should be calling soon…
All the best
I have been for 10 yrs and hubby just this year!Time now for Fun!! :)NG
Congratulations on your retirement. You're going to love it.
Ross~ Your creative imagination never fails to amaze me. You'd have been fun to have in class . . . maybe. ;>)
Sarah~ The green guy was Wally . . . some "green monster" guy that has to do whith the REd Sox . . . i think. A kid made it. And the storage closet . . . better to be coming out than going in.
NG~Well, you're in the same situation as I am. My husband has been retired for 6 years . . . an now I join him.
Bob~ Thanks! I hope to, plan to . :>)
Pam~ You're welcome to borrow. The quote is public domain. Isn't it beautiful?
as you experience your withdrawal from one way of life to enter another, keep those glasses and that smile with you :)
The very best to you.
Hey, now you have more time to Blog?
Taking a minute from lying on the beach, sippin' a drink with a little sumpin' sumpin' in it to wish you the best retirement ever. Teachers like you are few and far between and I am sure you will be missed. But I know you will enjoy your retirement and I, for one, can't wait to read all about it.
Congratulations on your retirement. :-)
Congratulations, and I do agree that life begins at retirement.
you looks beautiful
