Since I live so far away from and not many people left from my family, I rely heavily on my friends. We would go out to eat to "catch up", attend some events together, etc. Unfortunately, covid killed off most of my relationships. My friends (50s-60s-70s) are too afraid to go out. Being home all the time, they say they are "too busy". We tried a few zoom sessions (mainly around our birthdays) but eventually that fizzled out too. And frankly, I"m tired of being everyone's "secretary" and doing ALL the planning. The phone, zoom, email WORKS BOTH WAYS. If my long time friends can't be bothered, then why should I do all the work? So right now I'm just doing things for myself, BY myself. I can make myself happy. Dancing is getting started again and I'm going out to have fun!
