Time is like a handful of sand, the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers. Anonymous My 20’s: That runner’s high! I love it! I feel like my feet are six inches above the pavement and I could just keep running and running forever. I stretch my runs longer and longer for pure pleasure until I just have to turn back--reluctantly. I’m empowered and kind of in awe of my energy. My 30s: My pregnancy decade. Three kids. I jog behind a stroller with the firstborn; walk with a toddler while pushing a stroller with the second born; walk slowly with my third, stopping so he can drop pebbles down the drain or pat the doggie. I go on occasional walks or slow jogs on weekends or days when my husband is home with all three kids. But I often choose to nap. My 40s: My oldest babysits for thirty minutes so I can go out for a walk. I call it my “by-by walk.” “Mommy’s going for a by-by walk,” I say to soothe my youngest, who c...

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
