I decided on a tentative date for retirement this week - March 1 2009. My 65th birthday falls this year on February 22. I will reach 66 - the Social Security retirement age in 2009. I signed up for Medicare, Part A, this week.
I mentioned the date to my boss (unofficially, of course) to help as he contemplate budgets and staffing levels over the next months. The time could be advanced if I found something interesting to do part time.
These decisions and activities move me from considering retirement as an abstract concept to something that will really happen.
This 'wild forest' stands in the lot right next to my yard. I captured this photo during a warm day of our January thaw.
