I am grateful for retirement. When I first told my doctor that I wanted to retire after 31 years in public education he advised against it. To him, retirement meant sitting at home doing nothing as your health declines. I explained that retirement for me means doing all of the things that I wanted to do but never had the time (or energy) to do. In retirement I was able to teach a year at a Christian school and use the Abeka curriculum. In retirement I was able to teach at Richmond Virginia Seminary for two years and development curriculum.for 5 classes..And in retirement I was able to be there for my daughter when she was pregnant and to spend time with her and my grandson in Raleigh. In short, retirement gave me freedom to do the things I love with the people I love. In many ways I am busier now than when I was employed, but I am doing what I love.
