I, for one, would love to see more poetry and more of Dancing Priest! Hope you'll go for it when the time comes.<br />Blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-61872443826553961832015-02-23T17:04:18.508-06:002015-02-23T17:04:18.508-06:00Glynn, I especially appreciate this post, because ...Glynn, I especially appreciate this post, because my husband has finally agreed to retire in December. I wanted him to retire at least 3 years ago. Alas....I must submit to his wisdom, and we are putting our daughter through college. I too think of limiting....not just with Michael in mind, but because of life's brevity. As I age, I think about that a lot. We've lost several friends, either younger or just slightly older than we. And as far as that goes, in once sense, all any of us has is a day--just this day. We have no guarantees of any more. Rather than allowing that to depressed me (my natural tendancy), I'm trying to see it as a wake-up impetus to limit, focus, and seize the day. All the best upon your retirement. <br />Blessings,<br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-82070922224748492542015-02-23T09:51:55.872-06:002015-02-23T09:51:55.872-06:00As you enter a season of "Limit" it does...As you enter a season of "Limit" it does seem to be expanding your possibilities in new ways, focused ways, creative ways. As Maureen points out, you get to decide what you want to "major" in. Thank you for blogging through the book, chapter by chapter, pulling back the curtain on your writing life so others can see what it's like to work and write and publish and interact on social media. <br /><br />I hope this next phase is rich and rewarding, Glynn. I'm so glad that of the things you'll be continuing, you and I will continue to overlap and interact.<br /><br />Bless you during these last couple of months!Ann Kroekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031147191936773330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-9485869097277568382015-02-23T09:19:42.754-06:002015-02-23T09:19:42.754-06:00The wonderful thing about retiring is that YOU get...The wonderful thing about retiring is that YOU get to decide. Good planning makes the next phase better, and you're doing everything the right way. It will be exciting to learn about your "what's next" decisions.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
