I retired 18 months ago from a very large non-profit. I held many different positions in my career--from IT Project Manager, Human Resources Officer and Executive Director among others. I miss the people but don't miss the stress and being on call 24/7. I've just finished renovating my fifth house. I discovered this week that I have completed 11 quilt tops since I retired so I'm working on my machine quilting skills. I keep toying with the idea of going back to work part time so I don't drive my DH totally nuts but my sewing studio beckons me every day.
