I just retired this month, so the timing is perfect, now that I have time and I can treat my body with a little more ease and respect. The school that I’m going to is great. My first class has gone really well. There are six other 30-something women and the teacher is 30-something but I’m just so darn proud happy for being there and I’m proud of myself for just showing up. I haven’t been able to say that often enough in my life and it’s great.”
