Its rarity makes it so special.<BR/><BR/>I can relate to your feeling that the anticipation of retirement was nearly as good as the reality. Once I had decided to leave work, I suddenly realised that I felt so much better that I didn't need to leave after all. But I did.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1156899928510706572006-08-30T11:05:00.000+10:002006-08-30T11:05:00.000+10:00Ours is not a typical retirement (or at least how ...Ours is not a typical retirement (or at least how I thought it would be) but we enjoy our time together very much.

We ARE allowed to have lives not determined by children. <BR/><BR/>And Val, I will be counting down to your retirement date with you. How exciting!

Mind you, then we dont know who we are, and have some adventures finding out. You are path finding for me of course Val, being a few months ahead in our amazing coincidental life (next May for me)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743788129921238096noreply@blogger.com
