It was really interesting to read just how you came to a part of these groups. I admire your stick-to-itness. I admire how you are so active. I also think it is interesting that you get to where you are going without driving. I guess that is one thing I don't like about where I live. It is a long drive to get to the Y. There are now coffee shops close by. But, I have managed to make friends since I moved here a nearly five years ago. Most of my friends are from church. I am trying to get more involved at the Y. Have a great week, my friend.

You befriend many people. Those people you stand beside for various activities are probably looking for someone for support. "Please tell me I'm doing alright in this activity." They don't say that or know it. You are saying you're doing fine without saying but just by your actions. I'd like to stand beside you for encouragement.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-86084127465247520132017-04-02T15:35:11.541-07:002017-04-02T15:35:11.541-07:00I have no doubt you childhood moving with your fam...I have no doubt you childhood moving with your family made you outgoing and adaptable.

Since I retired a couple of years ago I find my circle of friends has grown very small with mainly acquaintances and some family. We live in a small town with very limited senior activities.<br /><br />You are an inspiration in many ways! <br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-26811905015523791082017-04-02T09:57:37.040-07:002017-04-02T09:57:37.040-07:00Glad we met here because I enjoy what you share.

I tried to explore senior places but Buddy is the left out so I have used the apps that let me chat with family daily. All kinds of family and then when I can I read blogs and comment. Posting has become harder.hubby posses new challenges as the mind is changing due to dementia. I have to learn to be careful chosing words that wo't trigger anger outbursts.

Since I tend to be a solitary exerciser, and since I don't make friends so easily, I tend to lead a much more solitary life. Sometimes I wonder about that, but for the most part, I'm happy with how things are. I guess it's different strokes for different folks. <br />I enjoyed reading about how you have put all your pieces together.
