I loved this video. I watched it six times. It's absolute joy in motion.

March 30 next year, I will go "of counsel" with my practice. That means I only need to work 20 hours a week for the next two years. I get to pass my entire financial practice on to my son. 

I figure 40 years is enough.  I love the job, but the increasing responsibility of the practice, particularly in this environment, has taken the fun out of it.

It's time for more fun! I plan to increase substitute teaching, take longer trips, and sleep late.

March 30 is beginning to feel real, finally, to me.

Not that far away, Emma.

The American work ethic is something that really confuses the rest of the world, lol. You should have at least 20 cats by now, Emma!

Oh, and going back to an earlier conversation, you US girls... go try a Snickers from the UK vs the one you have over there. Same with a Kit Kat. Apparently it's completely different. To a lot of folks, US chocolate tastes like vomit. Not even kidding. I mean it all tastes like that to me but apparently there's a difference.

While living in Germany, my mother-in-law knew I was a choco-holic and bought me some Marzipan. That stuff was foul.

I do like Toblerone, which is a Swiss chocolate. For Christmas each year, I would get several tins of Pirouline. I am not a fan of hazelnut, but they aren't bad. I always keep the tins because they make great containers.

I still prefer Hershey's or Nestle's. 😁

My favorite is Belgian milk chocolate, but at the end of the day, I am a chocolate "whore" and will eat what is at hand in a pinch.

I taught twice in the last ten days, and it continues to make me very happy that I made the choice to teach.  Not only do some of the kids remember me and say "Hi," but some of the non-talkers from last year have started to talk to me.  That is extra special.

Dear Emma:
I agree with "taking longer trips and sleeping late" !!!!
      AND
I wish to spend more quality time with my sweetheart, ToothFairy.❤️❤️❤️

I am 45 years old and I am very passionate about my CPA business, but frequently I am
having my hired help do more and more in my office and I am getting my work to be
reduced to being at my office 2 to 4 days a week instead of 5 weekdays and many weekends.

In my "off" time of not going into my office I am bringing important paperwork
home and working on it while in my sweats and slippers while sitting in front of
my fireplace as the weather here is quickly turning to winter.

Thank you for sharing your plans.... I fully agree.

HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

Danielle I am so jealous.  You got smart early and made your professional life fit your personal life style...and you're 45😁.

I need to buy new comfy sweats and buy some bunny slippers!
