And so thoughtful of your co-workers to present you with a page of fortunes and their own messages. Proves that you made a positive impact and that's all one can hope for.

It's been several years since I "retired" - and I say "retired and not retired as I still keep my hand in with some consulting work and also I do so much, which although is not work is "work".
