I. Enjoyed the career for years but then the last four or five years became a drag and I was very aware that the sands of time were slipping away. I managed 37 years and, like you, decided to sacrifice some pension to enjoy more time living a life I wanted to lead. Hopefully we will meet up after all these years!Andy Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297448211000021970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701428736862216823.post-23634699717931023062017-06-22T13:53:40.634+01:002017-06-22T13:53:40.634+01:00.... i may have another part time bossette, Rachel....... i may have another part time bossette, Rachel as she will be the bread winner from September but the time allocation of my day I will certainly be the master of that.

I am in the position of being able to control my decision timings, some frustration I was never extended to my limits especially after three years gaining my Masters.... but life is so short and we are really so insignificant in whatever cosmic story we are part of ..... so it was an easy decision really.

When I got made redundant, even though I was past retirement age, I was full of resentment and disappointment that someone had taken away from me my life choice of when to retire. However, everything happens for a purpose, and now my life is full of things that I never had time for. So much so, that I wonder how I ever found time to work. I wish you peace and life fulfillment.LittleInsecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232134356798382567noreply@blogger.com
