HELLO Grrranny! Your suggestion hit right on the head for me.
Normally I do not like to text a lot, especially for holiday and birthday wishes etc.
But I have had a great group of mostly women who are all artist painters for the last 20 years. We get together once a week to paint together. It has, without realizing it, turned into a sort of support group. Most of us are 70 to almost 90 now.
We lost quite a few along the way, but we seem to be getting closer and closer now. Many times several of us have said we didn’t want to get up and go to painting group. But when we get there we are okay and enjoy it.
That scenario seems to repeat every week now. Sometimes one will not show up and we now have started texting and emailing to see if all is ok and continue to have a positive fun chat.
I have also now just plain started texting for any old fun reason, just to share something with one or all or whomever I chose to communicate with.
This allows us to actually be able to finish a conversation one on one.
I feel so happy, and feel like kids texting back and forth kidding and teasing.
So thank you for your SIMPLE suggestion to sort of visit and talk to other people. This is why I love this sight🥰 kathymj
