My wife and I bought a motorhome so when life calls down upon us we hop into the motorhome and forget about the big city blues and hit the open country...

As a Christian, I pray and ask God to uplift my spirit and keep my thoughts positive. It's not always spontaneous, but gradually, with focused effort, it works. Getting out and walking in a nature setting is another surety.

I I considered going to a singles group here in my Trilogy development. I called in and asked about mix of people etc. The leader of the group said always 99% of attendees are women almost never have men attend. (And you will be hit on relentlessly) So I chose not to attend - that was about a year ago. I have now attended my first meeting and was pleasantly surprised. Was a small group sat next to and across from ladies ( there were only two men in this small group)

It was a wonderful experience had a great conversation with the lady sitting next to me and with several other ladies at my table. Sometimes we need to take a chance. Came away with no negatives and am looking forward to the next meeting.
