I can relate. My friends have either died or moved far away and are busy with grandchildren. I have decided to join groups that are teaching things I enjoy and perhaps friendships will develop.

I live in the country and that is an issue for some but not for me. Sharri you could have a long distance tribe meet up somewhere interesting……
