You bring up an important consideration-sadness when one doesn't "fit". I've always thought of a retirement community as a place where there would be other widows (now why doesn't that sound like a fun goup?) with whom socialize; go out for lunch or attend concerts and movies. I guess it's also important to be one's own anchor to cope with living situations you can't control. Maybe we can start a long distance coffee break online. Usually I talk to my dogs but I suspect I'm starting to bore them.

Yea, these Golden Years are not for the weak physically or at heart. Living alone sucks. Many of my friends are alone. I think we should just move into a large commune. Ha!
