Hope: How wonderful to hear from you! Yep - sounds like you've got the right idea.
Just this week I have been giving retirement some serious thought. I have worked at the dance school for 35 years and it is time. It is the only reason I came home last Sat and we've had 2 storms already! In the past week Ashley let me know that she will not be dancing next year (or working at the studio) and I am also losing one staff person to other commitments in her life. I have someone in the wings ready to take over for me and it seems my stars are starting to align. We had a good meeting today about it and I think it will happen.
Ahhhh - retirement to the islands...
Well, I'm still Canadian so I can only do a max of 6 months but with Josh's offer of a longtime vacation with him and my own desire for several weeks in Florida - I'm ready!
Great to hear from you and especially that your life is going so well.
