Bless at My Two Cents said she is picking Thrive for her word of the year. I don't usually pick a word for the year, but I think this year I will. I am choosing Purposeful. Since I am entering a new phase of my life with retirement, I want to be purposeful with how I choose my priorities and spend my time. Do you choose a word of the year?
Below are a few more odds and ends from retirement news.
 |
| You may remember that I recently talked about a green dinosaur from the library that was donated over 30 years ago. Recently, it found its way back home, and now, a new generation is playing with it. |
 |
| These were roses I got at the end of the last storytime. |
 |
| A silly parting gift I gave to my co-workers. They are all moving to other libraries for the next two years while our library is renovated. |
 |
| I am about done sorting and putting away everything I brought home from work. I saved a few stuffed animals I used in storytime, but these are no longer needed. |
 |
Another parting gift from a storytime family.
We shed a few tears and hugs as we said goodbye. |
 |
| And in non-retirement news, on the way home after a visit with my FIL, Ward, Wally, and I took a walk in a park where Wally used to work in the summers. He was interested to see the improvements they had made. |
 |
Ward was interested in the equipment they were using in the park,
especially since his day at the Big Metal Playground. |
Until next time...
