That is the first sentence in the story of Miss Gillyflower. Who is Miss Gillyflower? She is the main character in a children's storybook I'm working on.
My departure from the classroom has taken place and people still keep asking me, "Are you sad?" or "Do you have any regrets?" Well, I don't have even one little regret - only excitement! In the classroom, we are always talking to the kids about setting goals. Set your sights on what you want to accomplish, figure out a plan for how you're going to do that, and then GO FOR IT! Well, I've set four long-term goals for myself.

It will all take time, and I don't plan on doing everything at once.
But THIS "retired" teacher doesn't plan on sitting around in a rocking chair!
