This is going to be a November for me to remember

Beginning of a new innings.

Today has started a new phase in my life. After working for more than 40 years in various organizations I have retired from my job. Today it is feeling a bit strange having no office work to do and not being flooded with office calls. My WhatsApp has been busy with messages from colleagues who missed meeting me yesterday in the office and old colleagues and friends who were all congratulating me. Will now be working from home and other than making and selling imitation jewelry I am trying to find more sources of income from home. The picture posted is my own of the bouquet that I got in office yesterday.

You will feel strange for a few days as you have retired. Life will have something for you. So be patient.

My grandkids have come home now so they will keep me busy till the end of their Diwali vacation. As soon as they realized I am home full-time without the distraction of office work they insisted on visiting.

I will first have to change my sleeping habit I think. I wake up at 5.30 in the morning. Grand children came yesterday so now I will be busy with them for a couple of days.

Getting bored of resting too much. Just now spending time making handmade jewellery which has always been my hobby but did not get a chance for it.

@Gnana_Helps Just now just using pearls. Will start learning to make with resin too as I was very keen on learning the process of using resin.
