I retired in 2004 after a 20 year career with the Canadian Federal Government and moved to beautiful Vancouver Island on the West Coast of Canada.  Hobbies I enjoy are gardening, camping, scrapbooking and curling in the winter.   I found that all these hobbies didn't keep me busy enough so I started researching "work at home" opportunities on the internet.  I am finding quite a steep learning curve but will hang in there till I get results.  Anyone have any super motivation techniques?
