iT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS DAY HAS FINALLY COME. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS TODAY. IT IS WONDERFUL TO LOOK FORWARD TO A FUTURE OF MORE LEISURE AND GETTING AROUND TO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I ALWAYS SAID I WOULD DO "SOMEDAY" BUT I ALSO FEEL SOME SADNESS AT LEAVING WHAT HAS BEEN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF MYLIFE.
