This month will be packed with dozens of transitions for me. As I phase out of my job, which I've been doing for the last 33 years, things are coming up on a daily basis. I realized I've only got today and tomorrow to get up at the crack of dawn to get someone on a school bus......Pretty sure that habit is formed & I will still be an early riser, but to not HAVE to be linked to a bus schedule is going to be huge.

I've got my last full paycheck here on the desk today; one more partial check due the first week of July. I think I can get the income back up to speed as well as be able to cut costs since I won't be maintaining a license here & dealing with all the requirements that involves. As I pay bills this month, there are several that are for "the last time".

Transitioning leads to reflection, which isn't a bad thing. Pondering where I've ended up after working in social services for 3 decades.....not exactly rolling in cash here, but I do feel good about what I've accomplished.

The upcoming decades however, I think I'm going to practice some selfish behaviors and see that I'm a little higher on my infamous TO DO list here. After attending a retirement seminar this week, I've got plenty of new inspiration to get my assets beefed up before I'm too old to be able/or want to work. Best get to crackin'!
