I am a lot older than you. I will be 88 on my next birthday which is in September. I am not good at groups or meeting people. I do not have "small talk." Right now I do not feel like doing anything. Twice a week I have physical therapy for my hip. Go to the grocery store when I run out of food. Love to read so go to the library. That is pretty much it. I live in California, but I grew up in Winnipeg and I would never relocate to an area which has actual snow and winter. But I am so old that all my old friends are gone. And since I am not so good with people I really don't have many friends. Which is okay for right now because I just want to be alone. I know that I am lucky to still have a mind left at my age and I hate it when people are condescending because they think you are senile. I am definitely not. Tomorrow I have an appointment with a social worker. We will see if we suit and if he can help me with my depression. If not, I'll just have to go it alone. But thank you for your good wishes.
