I don't know what kind of a social life you have, but if you don't have one, now is the time to develop one. That doesn't necesarily mean going golfing, becoming a lady who lunches, etc. l have been enjoying going to our local fleamarket and visiting with the vendors. This past few weeks I have been hanging out with the "guys" at my garage, sitting in the office, chatting, watching tv, even just reading, talking with others who come in...while waiting for my car to be worked on. I joked that they were going to miss me, and they all agreed, ..asking me to please come back in often, for they enjoyed the good conversations. Same at the fleamarket. Maybe not the most exciting life, but interesting. Take an interest in people outside your normal circles. Visit nursing homes, hospitals, children organizations. Make blankets, rice packs, little goodies for them. "Adopt" more people. And I really recommend getting a pair of dachshunds. You will NEVER be lonely again, lol. They fill your heart and home.
