It is time for rest,
it is time for fun,
it is time for enjoyment,
it is time to laugh,
it is time to dance,
it is time for just doing nothing – sometimes,
it is time to learn,
it is time to enjoy the world,
it is time to change.
The time has come.
I am retired.
What a feeling!
I am grateful to know that I have made a difference to
the company and people I worked with.
I leave with a sense of achievement and happiness.
Ute smile 
yay for you! congrats and it sounds like the perfect time to
Thank you Beth, it is the right time, and now Summer coming – perfect. 🙂
SO HAPPY FOR YOU! GREAT NEWS! Now there is no reason not to get together. It is time for having a good time with friends. Xxxxxx
Oh yes Birgit, I got many plans and visiting is part of it. We can probably go together to Kew and enjoy time together in our favourite surroundings. 🙂
Funny … all I hear is:
“It’s time for breakfast.”
“It’s time for lunch.”
“It’s time for supper.”
And you don’t want to know what my husband hears back from me! 😦
😉
Haha, let’s see how it works for me…. I might need advice from you 🙂
Congratulations, Ute. I’m sure you’ll fill your days with lots of hobbies and fun times, especially when we can all travel again. 😎🤗
Absolutley Sylvia, thank you, I have many fun things to do , I certainly won’t get bored, that is not me. 🙂 Once we can travel again, we will start that too and see places on our list.
Dann wünsche ich dir von Herzen einen schönen Ruhestand mit vielen glücklichen Momenten.
Vielen Dank Ute, und eines Tages koennen wir wieder mal nach Deutschland kommen und uns sehen. 🙂
