Most of my victories these days are little ones — progress made toward a valued goal. Completing a thirty year career as a high school counselor (after ten years in business and graduate school) is the last “moment of glory” that stands out. Creighton and I invited family, friends, colleagues and neighbors to a garden party at our home to celebrate.
As you can see from the photo (taken by my niece, Molly) I was feeling great wearing my queen-for-a-day tiara, and flanked by my sisters and Dad.
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.”

Congratulations! 🙂
I retired four years ago, after being a teacher for the multiply handicapped for 30 years… so I can relate to that sense of accomplishment. I sure continue to enjoy and relish retirement. Enjoy it and savour the honor of being there!
This fall is the beginning of my fourth year, and I am loving every minute of it! Congrats to you too, and thanks for checking in.
I’m with you Lindy – I resisted retirement until my husband said he’d move without me if I didn’t do it, so I did! 2 days after retiring I wondered why the heck I’d resisted in the first place!!! Enjoy it!
Retirement is the best gig ever!
Absolutely!
