[stylist] Haiku to Spring

[Lynda Lambert]

Mary Jo,
My retirement was not a planned one. In my profession there are so many 
perks, most professors do not retire until well after others. My sight loss 
five years ago gave me the LEAP into retirement - but it is one of the most 
positive things in the long view. I would never have retired at age 64 
because my job was wonderful - summers in Europe, lots of publications and 
speaking at conferences, and so many great classroom times with students. I 
was one of the lucky ones who taught interdisciplinary studies across 
disciplines.

Now, my life is also very good - with mornings at the gym with no hurries to 
go home and then off to work every day. I write till after 1 in the 
afternoons, then the rest of the day is art making in the studio - that is 
my typical kind of day. Retirement is fulfilling in an entirely new way.

Lynda
