RELEASE
"Release" was the perfect word for me, as I've been dealing with this transition into retirement. It's so funny, cuz I thought that retirement would feel like one big Saturday; party time all the time, right? Well, it's weird - it's like I had all these huge expectations for myself, and now I've been dealing with alot of (self-induced) guilt because I'm not "producing" as much as I thought I would be. LOL. I talked with a friend of mine who also recently retired, and she has had some of the same feelings; so maybe it's not that uncommon when you retire. It's like, I've been working for so long that it feels somehow wrong to relax. Aargh.
Anyhoo, it was therapeutic for me to work on this page...
