i'm connected to people via groups.

i attend a weekly bible study group for women on tuesday, i attend a weekly quilting group thursday, i attend a sit and stitch quilts for kids every 3rd saturday, and i go to dog park (a couple blocks from my house) monday-friday so my dog and i can socialize together. my dog loves the beach and we'll go to dog beach about 3x a month. i'm a big fan of baseball, concerts, and plays and have gone alone if no one else is interested in attending.

if i didn't do these things i wouldn't have many reasons to ever leave my house. dogs are great company and really don't require much and provide so much love in return.

Yes!

Dogs can be a great connector. I have several neighbors who I recognize by their pets- and sometimes know the dogs’ names but not theirs! (Thinking I should work on that….)

It’s good to know what you like - and then seek it. How do you keep up with what’s happening and upcoming events?

Sometimes, going alone is less stressful. You don’t have to worry if the other person is enjoying it…. Right?
