365 Days Til Retirement!

Yay!!!

I’ll turn 62 on April 28 of next year.

I picked Cinco Da Mayo because I wanted my last day to be fun.  We can wear Mexican hats and goof around.

Thinking about it makes me a little sad and very excited.

I’ve been MIA for awhile.  I’ve been working on my business blog on facebook.  Lighten Your Load Organizing and figuring out what my retirement is going to look like.

Gotta run.  Work beckons…..

Not One Word

Not one person from management gave me a kind word for 29 years of service.

Not that I expected any, but it would have been nice to hear.

Hey Chris congrats on being here 29 years. 

We appreciate your hard work. 

Nothing.

I didnt expect money or a gift card

Just a kind word.

For my 25 year award the head of shipping handed me my envelope with my check in it.  No congrats or I appreciate your efforts.  No words at all.

It makes me sad.  Unappreciated.  Not cared for.

Words are important.  Kind words.  Words of appreciation.  They heal the soul.  Make people smile.  They are remembered.

I only have 532 days left til I retire,  but it sure makes me think about getting out of here earlier……
