I guess if you have long term friends and live in a close community where you have friends and family around you, you might not "get" the things we do by ourselves. Most of the people who respond to my blog and in fact read it are friends of mine, but because of time and distance we are not in the same area. Bubblewench is a longtime friend who happens to live in the Eastern part of the country, CamiKaos is my daughter, she is in the PNW, Mie, my niece, is from California, some are just E-mail friends, or dear friends that I am separated from.
If you are fortunate enough to have close friends, stay close to them. We have moved many times and have no close family or friends in the area. When you loose your friends from early adulthood and childhood it becomes difficult to make new friends. Most people have established friendships and aren't willing to let new people in, believe me I have tried. So I stay with my E-Buddies, and visit them for "real" when I can. Is it a lonely life, yes. But I wouldn't trade my "family" for anything.

AMEN! I can't tell you how much yours, Papa K's and the entire Kaos family friendship has done for me over the years.
Thank you.
sometimes, family is where you find it. But I have a great family, and a bunch of great internet friends!

Like I said...I just don't get it. What I meant by that is getting yourself out there, maybe an exercise class at a nearby hospital, a quilting group, craft group. something that gets you a little more social is good for the heart. I email too, but I think staying couped up is not good for ones soul.
