Friendship
Friendship
As many of you know from several of my blogs-finding friends
is not exactly an easy task. Steve and I
are not the most religious of people, so despite being invited to join a Temple
that is more of a social group, that’s not the best of places for us to find
like-minded friends-couples or not.
However, thanks to that day we were shopping at the outlet
mall and met our closest friends-we’ve stagnated.
I, personally, took advantage of our housing tract’s
personal website and invited anyone over for coffee or to take a walk-3 people
have taken me up on the offer. The
leader of our site came over and we had a nice chat. She left saying next time was her turn.
So far, all I’ve received at little notes on the site
saying, “we’ll do it soon, I promise”. The first woman was the one who invited us to
the makeshift temple. Steve and I have
met this nice couple for lunch a couple of times. Unfortunately, we’re a bit TOO much
alike. Poor woman has had 2 surgeries
and is getting ready for a third.
The last lady is our new neighbor across the street. We keep talking when I take Lucky for a
walk-but she’s on her fourth set of visitors.
Then I forgot! I
joined the FaceBook page-Addicted to Anthem!
I went on there and introduced myself.
Now that seems to have worked for the moment! That day I met another woman who is also
disabled. She can’t walk, but we both do
love our coffee! This morning a woman
who does like to walk with her Chi/Jack Russell met with me at 7 and we walked
our dogs for an hour! Yeah!
Saturday-another coffee date with a woman who wants to do
both-walk and drink coffee! Plus, she’s
a fellow freelance writer!!!
Of course I can’t really say any of these women will become
my BFF, after all we’ve only had one “date”.
But I’m out there and trying to form a cohesive group for myself. Time will tell. In the meantime, it has been nice to share
things with other women my age and get out of the house.

How nice that you put yourself out there like that. I'd love to find someone too who shares a passion for writing. But it's different for guys, isn't it? I couldn't see myself making a 'date' with a man or certainly not with a woman my age. My wife and I aren't that outgoing socially though so I guess it doesn't matter.
yes, it is wonderful that you've got a friend base! We've got our one set-but it isn't easy at our age to just go out and meet some friends.
especially w/ Steve never having a weekend or the same days off to count on!
