A colleague retired in June. Tonight we hosted a retirement party for him. Over 50 people gathered to wish him well. His comment, “I don’t regret retiring.” That is the second person to say that to me this fall. I have a sense I will feel the same way. I am starting to seriously consider it though it is still a few years away. I am so blessed with many options in my life and I hope I can do more of the things I love to do. I am not yet at the stage of dreading going to work but as the snow flies and word that a colleague was in yet another serious car accident, I know that I dread the next few months of work.
I am not sure when the right age is to retire, or what that even means to someone like me. I do know that I am happy to be working and that I foresee a future with many possibilities for me. The time is coming when I will want to do something different.
Peace,
Suzanne
