Embarking on Retirement: The Next Journey

Retirement

I’ve found the door

started looking last year

made my way through the room

straightening my files

smoothing my skirt

changing shoes

grabbing my hat and sunglasses

moving toward the portal

reaching, turning, pushing

toward the next chapter

  1. Congratulations, Kim!

    Love this reflection on your transistion.

    There’s a tenderness maybe some tentativeness, taking a moment, in this line:

    ā€œsmoothing my skirtā€

    and then the crescendo:

    “grabbing my hat and sunglassesā€

    Enjoy!
