Would love to just chat!

Hi Rebecca,

Just send me a note or post again and let's chat!  Tell us about yourself and what you would like to do to make your life better.

I am recently retired and still getting used to being at home all day.  I tried to get a part time job but no success. I would love to chat and get to know people from all over the country.  Maybe you can give me some advice on retirement loneliness!  Rebecca

Same here, Rebecca! I found that CoVID has interfered as I am truly not willing to take the chance; I live in a "senior" community and although I have no pre-existing health issues, I was in the hospital late January/early February due to fall and one of the Therapists had flu; she took one day off and wore mask on return, but with the infection reports being so vague, I feel I need to be overly cautious to not spread if I've been infected but hospital stay prevented symptoms.

Prior to that my plan was to volunteer at faith-based social service center across the street (I no longer have one due to daughters being victims 1-Oct) because I can walk there and so accomplish exercise, caring for others, and supplement my food.

I also volunteer (and hope it will begin again) for "homeless shelter" volunteer opportunity.

You may also want to investigate civic organizations such as advocacy, consumer rights and others.

I'd also recommend checking in with your local AARP office; they provide job postings, volunteer opportunities, and options to prevent loneliness and other issues that make us sad...
