"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else."
--- Fred Rogers
I officially retired on July 1, but I haven't had a chance to feel the full effect of it.
There were the farewells and the ending of the school year...but I've always had the summer vacation off...just like the children. My mind and body were used to relaxing during the summer months and then returning to work at the beginning of August.
That's why I didn't feel the full effect of retiring until today. All the children, including my grandchildren, started back to school today...and I didn't!!!
Now I'm finally realizing my retirement is a reality. So.... what's the first thing I did today after my grandchildren went to school?
I sat down at my drawing table and sketched a picture of them on their first day of school.
I can do that now. I can devote more of my time to sketching, painting and writing. I think it might be time to create a new look on all my social media pages.
After all....my time is now my own to use as I please..... I'm retired !!!!!!
