Retirement

by Innermost Being, posted in Word Prompts

How do you want to retire?

I retired just nine days ago.

I retire gratefully.

I’m grateful that I’m finally free, no longer bound to a desk, no longer worried about work responsibilities. Even when going on vacation, I could never really let my job go.

I’m grateful that my career has come to an end. When you are young, it’s hard to imagine working for forty or more years.

I’m grateful I was able to save money for retirement.

I’m grateful I left my job in good hands.

Work was a large part of my life, but it wasn’t my life.

I retire expectantly.

I look forward to retirement.

I’m excited to have more time for leisure. I’m excited to have more time for whatever I want to do, for whatever the Lord wants me to do.

For the first time in decades, I feel like a kid on summer break.

  2. Congratulations!! I’ll have been retired 10 years in November this year. I still tell everyone that despite the many wonderful jobs I had over the course of my career, retirement is my all time fave, and yes, as you noted, freedom is the best of all. Enjoy and savour every second!
