I am currently helping my parents move and transition into their new residence. I tried to multitask but soon realized that the move and transition need my full attention. I look forward to catching up with all readers/fellow bloggers/friends soon. ❤
Prior to retirement, I lived and worked in Beijing China for fourteen years (Middle School Principal/Deputy Director at The Western Academy of Beijing). Leaving international life behind, my husband and I retired to Vancouver Island in June 2015. To document both this transition and our new adventures, ‘Retirement Reflections’ was born. I hope that you enjoy reading these reflections, and will be willing to share your own.

But of course you need to take break! What a big job. Hope everything goes smoothly and will be looking forward to reading about how it all went when your parents are settled.
Parents are our top responsibility, of course, so I hope it goes well. When you do have some time, you can write blog posts and date them for future publication in the time you will be away from your desk.

Busy lives, like yours and Richard’s, require prioritizing. Don’t feel apologetic for attending to the tasks that are needed most.
