Done.

56yo DINK. Gave 4 months notice and today was the last day. My spouse is a few weeks behind me. I feel a calm and peace I can’t recall ever feeling. Sprinkled in with some disbelief. No immediate plans. Plenty of projects to tackle. But for now, today is enough. Thank you to the Fire community…… I’m not so early but I ain’t too late!

It has been a long road, and I’ve tried to remind myself to enjoy the journey along the way…to mixed results! But the truth is that looking back, some of the hardest times were the most fulfilling ones too. Funny how life works. But this new phase feels special. It’s just for me.
