As I stand here amidst the lush greenery of our homestead, I can't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. You see, after years of dedication and hard work in the corporate world, I've reached a pivotal moment: retirement.
It's a decision that's been brewing for some time, yet as the reality sets in, I find myself oscillating between excitement and apprehension. Leaving behind the familiar routine and security of my career is daunting, to say the least. But deep down, I know it's the right step for me, for us. And as I look ahead, I'm filled with a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to pursue these dreams alongside Todd, my steadfast partner in this journey. Together, we'll cultivate not just crops but a life rich in meaning and connection.
So yes, there are butterflies fluttering in my stomach, uncertainties lingering in the air. But beneath it all, there's a profound sense of excitement, of anticipation for the adventures that lie ahead. And with each potato planted and each plan hatched, I'm reminded that this retirement isn't just an end—it's a beginning, a chance to write the next beautiful chapter in the story of our lives ♥
