Taking the leap

Today is my last day on the bench. After 32.5 years I will officially be retiring on Feb 15, 2018, but today is my last physical day on the bench. And I will be doing this quietly. This has not been easy. Well meaning friends wanted lots of hoopla. I declined. I have chosen to tiptoe away into the next season of my life. I have said my goodbyes to close colleagues and staff and I am so grateful to have been able to serve these many years for the amazing people of San Diego County. I have taken this downsizing into my personal life too. My footprint (my stuff) has been downsized. To the point that I can see what I really need. So lots of quiet sighs as I head into 2018. For now I have no plans other than decompressing. And learning the art of Being Still. I am off of Facebook...I will only be posting here. If you are reading this I welcome you into my journey.
