Can't believe that it has been so long since I posted! I on retired Oct. 29, 2010. I made up my mind and then decided on the date and once I did that the next step was to tell my employer which I did in April of 2010. Surprisingly (well at least it surprised me) once I had decided on the actual date I just set the date in my sights & that was that. I did not want a "party" and as it turned out a work colleague decided to quit & take another job outside of the organization. We had worked together for 22 years. She didn't want a party either, but we both agreed to the suggestion that we share in a farewell which was held in our Board Room with colleagues, family & politicians we had both served for those many years. Wayne, Marilee, Jamie & Aiden, Allison & Coral were able to be there with me & we had a "girls only" get together afterwards @ a local pub which I loved. I didn't have to ease into retirement. It felt like one day I was an employee and the next day I was released to live my life in whatever way I saw fit to do so AND YES IT FELT WONDERFUL :-)
