So much precious time when it would be so great to be able to do other things.<br /><br />Joy, I am absolutely delighted to hear this - it is a seriously wise and excellent decision and one I am sure you will not regret. You have so many lovely non-school interests you will finally have a chance to follow. It is great that you will still be involved in school life, too, but hopefully not too much! :o)<br />You have chosen a good time to go because I imagine it will feel like a continuation of the summer break in a way, i.e. you won't suddenly stop going into school from one day to another, but will have not been in for a few weeks anyway. This could help to ease the transition maybe?<br />Have a wonderful last-day-of-term. :o) S.xxxx<br />Sonjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-83000934555737912202015-03-27T06:05:54.566+00:002015-03-27T06:05:54.566+00:00The transition from work to retirement is not that...The transition from work to retirement is not that easy but keeping a little of your work life alive is a good idea then you can let go gradually. At first it feels as if you are on holiday and gradually you wonder how you ever found the time to go to work. I didn't really have a plan but other interests soon took up the time. The first thing I did was a degree in horticulture which kept me out of mischief to start with.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669768223716648231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-23264829736859701662015-03-27T05:13:50.178+00:002015-03-27T05:13:50.178+00:00Congratulations!
