  A Day of Mixed Emotions

  Today was my last day at work. I am a FREE man now. Effective July 1, 2009 I will be RETIRED. I am ecstatic. I was looking for this for a long time.
   
  It was a day of mixed emotions at work. On one hand I was so glad that I was finally retiring. On the other hand, it brought tears to my eyes because I was leaving my long-time colleagues. They were in tears too. They gave me lots of expensive gifts and a fat scrapbook documenting our work life together. The scrapbook has many, many pictures and everybody’s hand-written notes in it. We were like a family.

  It remains to be seen what kind of emotions I wake-up with tomorrow morning. Would I be sad or would I be happy? I will not miss work I know. But would I miss my colleagues or would I say to myself, “Thank God. I am a free bird now. I don’t have to serve anybody any more. I shall only pursue my own hobbies and interests from now on, whatever I want, whenever I want?”
