December 17, 2019 is the day that ended my working life, after 51 years and an array of different jobs I was able to say I no long need to work and I no longer want to work. For me who has been a workaholic since I first started to work , no longer wanting to work was an achievement in itself.
Work has always been my sense of direction and my way of seeing who I really am. In work I could display the element that was inside of me to others. My natural talents of creativity and my sense of direction were easily projected. Because of this work was not easy for me to let go of.
Once I let go , I haven't looked back nor do I miss that need that consumed my days. One year into retirement....... I have found a sense of peace and tranquility that the sacrifices of those 51 years of work will afford me the time to do things that I never imagined doing........ like writing and allowing my mind to drift to places I never had time to drift to.
Retirement is good......
