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.

Thanks for the post and your
reply….it is hard to fit when just a few years make a big difference..four years ago, I had band members one who I had known since 2010… and peripheral acquaintances..now they have all gone…I find myself thinking perhaps too much when I first wake up so I get going…I will walk the mall today and walk it by myself…I thought your coffee on line group was funny 😄 and at least now I have a group of folks that I can hear through the words
and I can relate to them…this morning , the early morning cortisol arising was very strong…had to get moving..but love to have this group to come back to….👍🍀
