I retired almost 15 years ago. I do not know when I found time to work. I have been really enjoying retirement and quilting too. My advise is don't do too much. That is don't commit yourself to too many things. Your time will be theirs not yours. I don't mean not to do any volunteering or things with family. Just pick and choose. And always remember to have time for you and your family. The best time is now. Enjoy
