Last morning getting up before 5 am...

[seraphim]

... Unless I'm watching the sunrise from my campsite.

Odd, I'm really not feeling anything. No joy, no trepidation: just another day except I'm not really doing anything.

I thought I'd be happy or nervous or something. Not even impatient for the workday to end.

Guess I'm just well-balanced.

Or off balance.

Congratulations and good luck!!

Well, hey, I am sure excited FOR you! I didn't get to choose a retirement date, so I am vicariously enjoying what everyone else does.

I hope the day gets better. The ones to follow surely will.

 

[Gabieta]

Congratulations!!

I bet you will feel some joy at the end of the day!

"It is finished."

Thanks for all the well wishes. NOW I'm feeling really good!

Going out to dinner at a nice steak house which we will never be able to afford again *grin*

Congratulations ! Now sleep in !

 

[Marathoner]

Congratulations! What a perfect time of year to have your freedom begin!

 

[Helen]

Congratulations! I suspect the reason you weren't feeling anything earlier is because it is overwhelming. What a huge accomplishment it is to finally be able to retire! It is something most people spend their entire adult life working toward and some people never make it.

I hope you enjoy many, many sunrises from your campsite!

 

[seraphim]

Thank you all. DW is helping out a friend Monday, but I think Tuesday we'll load up the camper and go somewhere. Flip a coin to choose a compass point and go...

 

[eytonxav]

I'm right there with ya, good luck and enjoy!

 

[Beryl]

Nice. Good long living ahead. NO STRESS.

 

[heeyy_joe]

Please post a picture of that first campsite sunrise!

 

[Redbugdave]

What a sense of relief that must be to not have to be somewhere at somewhat time...Like an eternal weekend that has just started...

 

[seraphim]

Dave - you just gave me my new blog title 'Eternal Weekend' . Thanks .

And I will post that sunrise photo. Depending if I can get up that early lol

 

[Badger]

Congratulations! Time to load the backpack.

Cheers!
