All of you wrote very nice replies. Thank you. And I've been so undecided/confussed or maybe just simply know what I'd like to do but it seems "unresponsible" to not go back to work. I've enjoyed the stuff I've been able to do with family and friends.

At my age, 61and 1/2, it isn't worth going back to school to learn what I'd need just to do some of the entry level jobs because I know I''m not sharp on all the Microsoft Office package stuff. And that is the type of work I want to do in a business office, doctor's office. Because I don't want to work retail hours. I can't recover the cost of school in a job making the wages they pay in this economy today. I can collect social security at age 66 and on Jan 1 too. So in dollars, I may work for only 5 more years, but could work longer.

Im working at the actualy time and cost of a few computer classes plus books and practice time of learning this stuff on my own....The big question is "will it be a wash-cost for school ____________ vs _____________ what I would earn in 2 -3 years after I did the education....plus the cost of a nicer wardrobe again to be professional in that office setting.

Can I make as much starying home doing alterations, sewing, and find "odd jobs" with cooking a meal or two for someone. I am really starting to thing that way and feel that it's more who I am, or have become. HELP

The more I'm trying to type this post, the more the Ambien tab is kicking in, and I'm not thinking write/right??? I'm half asleep and know I need to say good night all.

Please say a little prayer for me to help me choose where my path will lead me. I'd appreciate that very much

Good night
