Thank you for answering my post. I agree that a group needs to be created for seniors and others who must stay home to have some socialization. I'm very glad to read that you have two women in the family that you keep in touch with and support each other. Also, it's good that you email two friends regularly. With so many people retiring now there are bound to be many more people like us that must abstain from large groups, outings and settings that aren't ADA compliant. You are truly blessed and so are the ones that you contact through email or any other way. Blessings to you.

I've found Zoom meetings which is embraced not only by churches but also many other social and cultural organizations, just like meetup.com on zoom. I use them occasionally when I am looking for Only to discuss what I have pressing interests in, such as climate change, food security, humanism, philosophy, critical thinking, etc.
But my current focus is In-Person and so I am joining one about anxiety. Funny, I had a foggy head a few days ago although I'd gotten up from sleep just a few hours ago. So I googled it and found a reliable sources (Cleveland Clinic, for e.g.) say it can be from Anxiety! Me having to have an anxiety issue second time in Ten Years again at 81? Naturally, I sat with myself, as I'd done the first time, and dug into my Source of anxiety. You know what? Within MINUTES I felt the fog clearing away! I still feel amazed: minds having such direct influence on our bodies?
I am writing this bc I'm going to join an Anxiety Group Meetup to meet in-person! Do Problems create Opportunities? It seems so!
I wish you luck finding your groups!
