I Love My Job Because I Love What I Do

Three days and I have to decide whether to continue or move on. What happened to time? How does 30+ years go by so quickly? How do I tell this team that means so much to me? But do I want to risk slowly losing the edge?

I need to stay focused and wait until it’s time to decide. Have to find a way to sleep.

I think when the time is right you will know. I wish you the very best.

@SweetMae I Hope so. I remember a time long ago when decisions were made for me and I so wanted to be independent and make my own decisions. Lol. I really miss those times now.

SweetMae · 70-79, F

@trackman11 It is a big decision.

If you are enjoying working, stay. 60 is still very young

trackman11 · 61-69, M

@GJOFJ3 I agree and will definitely need to find something else. Just a difficult decision. 🙂. I appreciate your input.

I agree with GJOFJ3. Having a purpose and being productive in life is hugely important. Retirement seems a bit like stagnation.

Maybe stay, if you are still able. You still have passion about it and that means a lot.
Best wishes. :-)

@trackman11 That's ok, big decisions sometimes take deep thought. You will probably make a good one in the end.

@Magenta thank you. Your gentle reminder about purpose and productivity was very helpful.

@trackman11 You're welcome. Best wishes.

Do you have a retirement plan in place? What if you miss being this busy again?

@trackman11 it's going to take tons of will power to say your goodbyes with a smile.

trackman11 · 61-69, M

@Vivaci you are so right. I think that will power and my poise (something I teach the value of) will be tested.

@trackman11 aww....🤗
I know you'll shine your way home....just keep in touch with everyone on FB or Gmail. And make sure you hang out with your regular gang at least once a month....call them home for BBQ or something.
