I have a few really good friends from my college days in Pittsburgh. We get together a couple of times a year, sometimes more. Since I moved to West Virginia in 2011, I have been trying to develop a social network. Now I have one or two friends here. It takes a long time to develop a friendship when you get older. At least that has been my experience. Maybe I can volunteer or get involved in a singing group as a way to meet like-minded folks.

I am involved in a support group in Morgantown and am able to help people through that. It helps get me out of my head when I think about what I can do for someone else. And I have met some pretty cool folks through the process.
