[Leica] OT: I've retired

[jackyaus at gmail.com (Jacky aus)]

Hi Peter,



Because of what I read, hear and share here, perhaps, it is time for me to
think of this topic in new perspective.



Retirement is not the end. It is just beginning of another stage of life,
from job career to personal dream. from role to enjoyment, from money to
satisfaction, from task to arts, from getting to giving, from running to
exploring. Retirement falls into new dimensions of life, enhanced with
photographic experience and inspiration through the lens and camera?.



All the best for your new life journey from now on?..



Jacky.
