SO TRUE...i am there.
actually, since my divorce last christmas, i only c my son 1-2x/wk and have no real friends.
i've made a great effort 2 know all my neighbors, 'cause since i don't work regularly anymore--all i have are the daily pleasantries i xchange w my neighbors.
it's not enough, but i'm just praying 4 God 2 work somebody into my life that's not an addict/drinker.
i hope you will try bingo, free classes @ your library,church groups, or volunteering.
there are also free knitting classes @ the better yarn shops(when u buy yarn). i just try 2 mix-it-up a little, and not get too stressed about results being slow
i may go take a college course. don't be afrid to spend money on yourself either.
my boss told me she had fun on a casino trip. she went BY HERSELF on a bus trip but said everyone was nice & she didn't need a companion just 2 do minor slot machines. she took a book w her for breaks. hope this helps
