I always enjoy seeing these posts - it’s fun to see the stats and the before and now pictures.

I believe it might have been easier if I had chosen to retire, but our division was closed down and I was over 60, so not many options for an executive in a tight job market. I started with yoga, then a quilt ministry and finally found my way. Unfortunately I still have an occasional dream where something has gone wrong at the office. Those still unsettle me, but they happen less and less. You'll get there.ledamewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741893340014830055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-471047416782333212022-11-02T08:10:34.948-05:002022-11-02T08:10:34.948-05:00When you lay out all of these projects, it's o...When you lay out all of these projects, it's obvious that you have accomplished quite a bit. I sewed Trick or Treat bags for the 5 grandkids a few years ago. I noticed in the photos their moms sent that a couple of them were still using those fabric bags. And one granddaughter was carrying one of her pillowcases I made - must have been anticipating more candy collected than her brothers.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-16686544490347206482022-11-02T08:08:39.172-05:002022-11-02T08:08:39.172-05:00I had those feelings when I was no longer working ...I had those feelings when I was no longer working out of the home - it took awhile and I seemed to fill up my whole day to stay busy.
