Yesterday, I became officially retired, I gave my notice at B&N and for the first time since I stopped working full time, managing retail stores, 16 years ago, I have no job commitment. It really feels strange to not have a schedule to worry about. For me working at B&N was all about getting out, and doing something that I loved, and being with great people. I loved the bookstore, the books, the booksellers and cafe' sellers most of all. We even had some great customers, along with the not so great ones.
I'm still teaching Tai Chi twice a week, so I DO have some place to be at 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I have such a great life, but it's just changed dramatically. Bob's still doing about the same, MEDIUM, so this way I'll be around to help and care for him. Maybe I'll have time to do more quilting and photo taking. I've been doing some crafty sewing, but quilting and photography have definitely taken a back seat.
I threw in the images, because every post need photos. You can find them here.
Be well and do good,
Welcome to the new chapter, don't you love all the beginnings that life brings? Your pictures are sure colorful, thanks for sharing them ~
