After 25 years of employment with my current company, I've accepted the early retirement option. I'm excited to start a new chapter and a little scared. I've never been unemployed and the thought of no paycheck coming in is intimating.

I've been anticipating something like this for a long time. I'm glad it is my choice and not a layoff.
My plans: Kayak, Bike, Hike, Fish, visit my parents more to help them out, visit Diane in Florida and hopefully do some big month long (or longer) road trips...
Deep dive into meditation, physical fitness, mindfulness and casual guitar playing. As always, spend as much time with Starla and Noel as they have available. The option of getting another job will always be there but I am not going to actively search for one until I have to or an opportunity presents itself.
