All of their energy, 100% of their time, and effort in one thing--their job. Since my kids have been where I've placed my efforts, I won't have that issue. After kids, I plan on dedicating that time to writing. <br /><br /><br />Hmmmmm....maybe one day I'll turn into those kind of people and say that about writing...lol.

Good luck...Wow Molly.. this post is very inspiring. Good luck with your scrapbooking. <br />My husband died a year after I retired and we had one fabulous happy year of retirement together. Three years after his death when I moved to town, I took on every conceivable thing I could think of to fill my new life. But then I realised ..I didn't actually HAVE to do anything and began to learn to relax and take time.<br />A teaching friend called in last week and her comment was.. I looked comfortable in my skin. I liked that! <br /> Now I have about dropped all activities except my crazy doodles. (One day, like you , I might pick them up again) When I doodle I totally let go..no preconceived ideas, just go with the flow. It has taught me to just be myself. <br />Surrender..trust. I am finding myself. Good luck Molly. You are lovely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470961835179653158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-9813746299446944832010-07-21T17:58:03.142-05:002010-07-21T17:58:03.142-05:00Good for you Molly.

I would never get bored at home, and never did, when I was a SAHM for oh, maybe 15 years before I had to get a job. <br /><br />I also madly love scrapbooking. I did a blog post last December, I think, featuring my newly re-organized scrapbooking room. It has gotten more search engine hits than any post I've ever done. <br /><br />I haven't done any scrapbooking, alas, since February, but I need to make some time for it on my week's vacation in August.<br /><br />I'm not a big die-cut fan, but our accucut machine here at the library is a life-saver for me--with storytime crafts.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900383840255608898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49143141623077601122010-07-21T13:51:02.346-05:002010-07-21T13:51:02.346-05:00Yay, I am so pleased to see that your scrapbooking...Yay, I am so pleased to see that your scrapbooking bug has returned.

When I retired this huge window of time opened up and gave me the opportunity to do things I'd been postponing for years. There are some days I have to tell myself to slow down. But I immediately answer, why?Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-75472962144284956742010-07-21T09:35:50.710-05:002010-07-21T09:35:50.710-05:00I've always said I would have scrapbooked for ...I've always said I would have scrapbooked for my son if I'd known about it when he was younger.

I quit my job 6 years ago, and had no worries whatsoever about keeping busy. In fact, even without reading and blogging, which take up huge amounts of time, I'd not have enough hours in the day.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
